Ongoing project
A small professional services firm with a big sustainability score
The Challenge
Our client is a Dutch marketing and promotional products company serving major international consumer brands. Key customers began requiring EcoVadis Platinum as a supply chain prerequisite. With 10 employees and no dedicated sustainability function, they needed to move fast from ambition to verifiable evidence.
Project Objectives
01
Achieve EcoVadis Platinum to meet customer requirements and protect key
02
Build an auditable, complete carbon footprint before GHG data became a commercial requirement
03
Embed a scalable sustainability management system with policies the whole team owns
Nexio Projects’ Solution
01
Ratings and certifications
We're working on yearly re-assessment and building a detailed improvement roadmap for the next cycle. We also completed the B Corp certification process from initial quick scan through to final submission.
02
Climate and carbon emissions
We delivered a Corporate Carbon Footprint Assessment covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, aligned with the GHG Protocol. We then are built a custom Power BI tool so the team can track, calculate and report emissions independently every year. We also initiated the Science Based Targets (SBTi) submission.
03
Sustainability Management System
We're implementing a structured Sustainability Management System that formalises policies, processes and KPIs across the business. This gives the EcoVadis assessment a solid operational backbone and a foundation for long term growth.
Key Outcomes
CIRFOOD NL & Belgocatering elevated their sustainability leadership—achieving consecutive EcoVadis Platinum ratings—while making meaningful operational changes that set new market standards.
EcoVadis Platinum: 94/100
Our client now outperforms 99% of all companies rated by EcoVadis globally. Policies, Measures and Reporting all reached a perfect 100/100.
B Corp Certified
Achieving B Corp certification alongside EcoVadis Platinum puts our client in a very small global group. It reflects genuine, companywide commitment to social and environmental performance, not just a rating exercise.
Full carbon transparency, fully owned internally
A complete Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory was built from scratch and embedded in a custom Power BI dashboard. When the project is complete, the team will be abvle to run it completely independent.
