In this webinar, two of our esteemed clients, TOSCA and CIRFOOD, from the packaging and food sectors share their firsthand experiences and insights on attaining the coveted EcoVadis Platinum Medal.
Learn about the challenges they faced, the strategies they implemented, and the impact the EcoVadis rating had on their business sustainability practices.
Below you can find some of the questions addressed during the Q&A:
- As a small business (under 30 employees) where we have a large stakeholder that requires Ecovadis, significant sustainability processes are hard to employ. We are a services company, so we have no products. How do we make this happen enough to report?
- Do you have any advice to get ‘buy-in’ from employees/upper management in divisions outside of sustainability, to help obtain the material you need in order to achieve Platinum status? (e.g., policies implemented, thorough documentation, etc.)
- What about the information which is not reported publicly but is required for EcoVadis assessment, how do you disclose that?
- Some of the internal control frameworks are published only on intranet and not on public website, will EcoVadis accepts this?
- What is the most difficult part jumping from one level to another?
- Could you please share what helped you jump from silver (or no medal) to gold/platinum medal? Is there any area you worked on that helped you increase the score?
- Are you responding to EcoVadis for each manufacturing sites/locations or are you completing one questionnaire for the entire company?
- How do you see the future of EcoVadis with the upcoming CSRD directive?
- The UNGC is a quite expensive investment for a certification, it would for sure provide a boost in one’s EcoVadis score but are there other business/sustainability-based benefits to it. How else is it beneficial to aid in one’s sustainability strategy?
- How can we align our CSR activities with the UN sustainable development goals to maximize our EcoVadis score?
