Ongoing project
EcoVadis Gold: How a global medical device manufacturer built a consistent improvement programme
The Challenge
The company needed a repeatable EcoVadis improvement structure that could work across all sites and keep progress moving from Bronze toward Gold year after year.
Project Objectives
01
Build a structured annual EcoVadis programme that advances the score in every cycle without requiring a restart each year.
02
Standardise sustainability evidence collection across 6 manufacturing sites in 5 countries so the whole organisation moves forward together.
03
Expand the sustainability programme into supplier risk as the natural next frontier once the internal performance baseline is established.
Nexio Projects' solutions
01
Multi-year EcoVadis support
Annual implementation support across all five assessment cycles. Each year: gap review against the previous cycle, updated action plan, evidence preparation and guided submission. The programme adapts as EcoVadis methodology evolves, with ongoing reviews continuing to maintain progress.
02
Multi-site standardisation
Consistent evidence frameworks, policy templates and documentation structures deployed across all 6 manufacturing sites. Sustainability performance no longer depends on which site is most engaged: it's systematic.
03
Supplier risk assessment
Formal supplier risk assessment methodology launched in 2026. Supplier categorisation and risk profiling underway across the supply base. A programme designed to serve both EcoVadis Procurement pillar requirements and CSRD supply chain disclosure obligations as they develop.
Key Outcomes
The client has a sustainability programme that continues to cater for ongoing EcoVadis improvement and supplier risk management needs, as well as growing customer requirements for verified sustainability data in the medtech supply chain.

Sustainability evidence collection consistent across 6 manufacturing sites spanning Europe and the Americas. A shared framework means the whole organisation moves together, regardless of which local team is newest to the programme.
Supplier risk programme operational
ormal supplier risk assessment active in 2026. Supplier base categorisation in progress. A programme that serves both EcoVadis Procurement requirements and the company's growing CSRD supply chain obligations. The programme is live and expanding.
