Particularly involved in the development of CSR best practices, Hopscotch has been awarded with the "EcoVadis Platinum" label. Finally, Hopscotch is present in 34 countries in North America, Europe and Asia.

HOPSCOTCH Groupe will publish its consolidated annual results for 2022 on Thursday 30 March 2023, after the markets close.
