As every year, one of the most significant moments in our sustainability activities has arrived: we have received our evaluation by EcoVadis for the year 2024, and we are happy to say that we are once again a Gold Medal winner.
This result places us in the top 5% of companies worldwide, highlighting our ongoing commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
Who is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is an international corporate sustainability assessment platform that examines the performance of companies in four main areas: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. EcoVadis assessments are recognised for their rigour and objectivity, providing a clear and comprehensive view of companies’ sustainability practices.
Ecopack’s Path to Sustainability
Ecopack has distinguished itself by its integrated approach to sustainability, incorporating environmentally friendly and responsible practices into every aspect of its operations. Below are some of the main factors that have contributed to the company’s success:
- Environmental Innovation: We have invested significantly in innovative technologies and processes to reduce the environmental impact of our products. The use of recycled and biodegradable materials is a key example of their commitment, and our new TerraMoulds line is one example.
- Labour Practices and Human Rights: we have adopted strict policies to ensure safe and decent working conditions for all its employees. This includes continuous training, occupational safety and the promotion of inclusiveness and diversity.
- Business Ethics: we have implemented a strict code of ethics that guides all its business operations, ensuring transparency and integrity at every stage of the production and sales process.
- Sustainable Procurement: we have established stringent criteria for its suppliers, promoting sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. This includes using sustainable raw materials and reducing carbon emissions.
Impacts and Future Prospects
Our score, 73, represents an extremely positive assessment, reflecting the effectiveness of the company’s sustainability policies and practices. However, this recognition is not only celebratory of the efforts implemented every day by our employees, but also serves as motivation for further improvements and innovations; it reinforces customer and investor confidence in the company’s commitment to sustainability, and creates new market opportunities and collaboration with other companies committed to sustainability.
