Ecolean, producer of lightweight, award-winning packaging solutions, has once again been placed in the top one percent of rated sustainability companies, globally. EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings assesses the sustainability work of over 100,000 companies yearly, from 175 countries and 200 industries. For its dedicated and continuously extending sustainability work, Ecolean was awarded the highest EcoVadis medal of Platinum, for the third year in a row.
Sustainability verification through third-party assessments is essential for companies aligning to green development, providing a benchmark and guidance on how to improve performance even further. In the FMCG food industry, to include low-carbon packages supplied by producers with sustainability high on the agenda has grown to become one of the most significant factors in adopting sustainable development practices, during recent years.
Being named one of the most sustainable companies in the world by EcoVadis, builds on the very reason why many of its customers choose Ecolean’s unique packaging system. “Our packages are lightweight and save resources throughout the life-cycle which of course benefits both our customers and the consumers. The 2023 EcoVadis rating gives extra credit to our always ongoing sustainability work in a broader sense than just the performance of our products, which we are very proud of, and which our customers can take pride too,” says Anna Svensson, chief marketing officer, Ecolean.
“EcoVadis’ yearly assessments serve as the perfect base for us to measure our work within sustainability as well as a benchmark towards other companies. EcoVadis rates how well we perform and this year we have improved our scores in the areas of Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement,” shares Anna Palminger, chief sustainability officer of Ecolean. “Our continuous improvements, both in policies, activities and reporting has earned us some extra points since last year, placing us once again in the top one percent of all 100,000 companies.”
During 2023, Ecolean improved the score to 82 in total, from 75 in 2022, out of a maximum of 100.
