EcoVadis does not evaluate promises. It evaluates what a company can substantiate with facts. Anyone who has ever tried to get acquainted with an EcoVadis assessment spanning dozens or hundreds of pages knows that it is not enough to describe what a company is doing today. You must prove that sustainability is managed systematically within the organization. The assessment covers dozens of questions regarding the environment, labor and human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement. However, policies, procedures, or guidelines alone are not enough. It is essential to demonstrate that the organization has set clear qualitative and quantitative goals, measures their implementation, tracks KPIs, analyzes the results achieved, and can support all of this with documents, audits, and certificates issued by independent institutions. Therefore, an EcoVadis Bronze rating today means that HI-LABS is among the top 35% of companies worldwide in terms of sustainability performance.
