I think it is a typo and it should be "s'appelle": is called

My comment:

"Ça pèle" is slang for it's cold (the weather). The only thing I can think of is something negative as I suggest above

That's right, but then how to explain the list of the company's best attributes? It sucks would be followed by its worse attributes, not its best don't you think?

My comment:

Normally, ça pèle can mean "it's freezing" Obviously, it does not apply here. Do you have the question leading to that answer? That might help!
