What Is EcoVadis and What Does the Silver Medal Mean?

EcoVadis is a global rating platform that evaluates companies’ environmental, social, and ethical performance. 

This assessment process is based on four main themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The medal system ranks companies according to percentile scores across industries; the Silver Medal typically represents being in the “top 15%” tier.
Therefore, being awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal demonstrates not only the presence of good practices within our company but also that we have a systematic approach to sustainability management and hold a competitive position on a global scale.
