EVS' Deputy CPO Scoops Corporate Star Award

Dounia Czorniak, EVS' Deputy Chief People Officer (CPO), has been awarded a Corporate Star Award in the Best ESG Leader category.

The achievement stands as a testament to her remarkable leadership and commitment to ingraining sustainability deep within EVS' corporate culture.
The awards ceremony, held during the IBC2023 show in Amsterdam, celebrated exceptional achievements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) within the broadcast media and entertainment industry.

In her role as Deputy CPO, Dounia plays a pivotal role in overseeing HR operations and implementing EVS' HR strategy. Her responsibilities have expanded to advancing ESG initiatives at EVS, an evolution that aligns with EVS' objective to foster a holistic strategy that addresses diverse aspects of the business.

When explaining why sustainability is part of the HR scope, Dounia said: "Empowering HR to drive our sustainability strategy at EVS ensures its integration as a fundamental element of our corporate DNA and culture, rather than just another project. Our objective is to nurture a sustainability-oriented mindset in all our endeavors."

Thanks to her efforts, EVS has achieved significant milestones in integrating sustainability values into various HR practices, ensuring that it is part of every team member's journey, starting from the interview process and continuing throughout their tenure with the organisation.

Dounia has also been a driving force behind the creation of the ESG-Core Team, whose role is to monitor the progress and implementation of the sustainability strategy and provide reporting. The team is comprised of diverse voluntary team members drawn from various departments and functions across EVS. This collaborative approach has dismantled silos, making ESG a transversal, company-wide commitment rather than a vertical initiative.

Under her leadership, EVS has released two comprehensive sustainability reports, with the 2022 edition being a remarkable collaborative effort. Each member of the ESG Core Team contributed specific sections, resulting in a well-rounded representation of EVS' ESG performance in the report.
