In our most recent EcoVadis sustainability assessment, we achieved ‘Platinum’ rating, which places us in the top 1% of companies assessed by EcoVadis globally Notably, we scored 90% for our performance in sustainable procurement, with praise for our Supplier Engagement programme and FSC chain of custody certification, and 80% on environmental issues, with praise for “exceptional” reporting on environmental issues.
Our top strengths include our work to close the loop through better design and protect natural resources, as part of our Now and Next sustainability strategy (commended by EcoVadis as the ‘systematic use of lighter items to save paper’), our commitment to sourcing 100% recycled or chain of custody certified papers, our commitment to 100% of in-scope sites maintaining ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification and packaging designed for easy dismantling and easy recyclability.
