Stakeholder Participation and Social dialogue
The Group is also engaged in a widespread dialogue with its stakeholders as part of its ambition to become a Purpose Driven company. This dialogue has led the company to hold discussions and gather feedback from around 1,000 people including families, residents, patients, employees, managers, mayors, members of parliament, regional health authorities and investors. These in-9depth exchanges will form the basis of the mission and the commitments being defined by Korian in being a purpose driven company.
Korian instituted, in 2019, the first European Works Council in the sector and since then has pursued a strong social dialogue at European level, that has resulted in the signature of an agreement on setting up the Korian SE European company works council, covering notably the consultation process of this work council. The work of this committee will include key theses such as absenteeism and health and safety at work, theses already worked by the European works council, which the European company works council will succeed.
At national level a first Korian collective labour agreement has been signed in Belgium covering internal mobility, staff well-being, purchasing power and team organisations. A first agreement in Germany with trade union Ver-di covering three facilities with an intention to develop regional and national dialogue. Thee recent agreements in France covering annual pay increase, profit sharing and work from home conditions.
ESG commitments & Sustainable financing:
Korian is delivering ahead of expectations on its ESG roadmap in its 5 pillars, with notably advances in:
- Care excellence and customer satisfaction: 42% of the network is ISO 9001 certified, in line with the objective of 50% for the end of the year; and the 90% of the network Positive Care compliant.
- Quality at work and talent acquisition: number of apprentices continuing to rise to 2,807 and the total number of employees in a qualifying training path reaching 9.9% at the end of October.
A year after the issuance of its € 300m social bond Korian has published the reporting on the use of the Social Bond proceeds. This report provides an overview of the allocation and impact of the Social Bond proceeds. All funds raised have been fully allocated to 6 projects falling under the 3 Eligible Social categories defined in the 2021 Social Financing Framework: long-term care nursing homes, medical care and clinics, proximity and community services, housing solutions, and digital technologies. The report includes case studies for each of the 6 projects, detailing their sustainability features and main impact metrics and has been audited by Mazars and EY.
