We are extremely proud to announce that we have recently received our EcoVadis score, and we’ve achieved the Bronze award!

This is an outstanding achievement for the company. It recognises our ongoing commitment to our sustainability efforts in the production centre in Tollesbury, Essex.

“Sustainability management is crucial not only to us but also to our customers. Achieving this score demonstrates to our customers and distributors that we take our company’s impact seriously and are continually striving to improve.”

What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is one of the world’s most trusted business sustainability ratings, and many companies use this accreditation to measure and highlight their sustainability achievements. Through rigorous testing, EcoVadis evaluates the effectiveness of a company’s sustainability management system by examining its policies, actions, and outcomes. It assesses key areas such as the Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, focusing on a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.

What are the benefits of EcoVadis to our customers?

The Bronze EcoVadis certification showcases our commitment to becoming more sustainability conscious.

We are not only dedicated to providing you with high-quality products, we also want to ensure that we maintain a high level of commitment to producing sustainable products too. This award gives you peace of mind that you are buying a product that is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. As well as following fair labour practices, ethical business conduct, and fostering a sustainable supply chain management.

What does having a bronze award mean?

Our score places us in the top 50% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. By receiving this award, we have demonstrated our commitment to implementing sustainable practices in every part of our business and production process and have achieved a notable level of performance in the areas measured. This recognition highlights how we have implemented and maintained these policies, initiatives, and processes that align with global sustainability standards.

Next Steps

Re-accreditation takes place annually and scoring is based on evidence provided by answering a comprehensive questionnaire. Moving forward, we will continue our sustainability actions across the company as well as taking steps forward using the information provide to increase our practices and awareness and hopefully further improve our score.
