A Rigorous Evidence-Based Process
Obtaining the EcoVadis Bronze Medal is a complex undertaking that requires high-level transparency. The methodology is evidence-based, requiring detailed documentation and independent verification rather than simple self-assessment.
Secop’s management systems were audited against 21 sustainability criteria across four key pillars:
- Environment: Focus on ecological footprint and the development of energy-efficient solutions.
- Labor & Human Rights: Assessment of workplace safety, inclusivity, and fair practices.
- Ethics: Audit of business integrity, transparency, and anti-corruption measures.
- Sustainable Procurement: Evaluation of the responsibility and accountability of the supply chain.
The EcoVadis assessment for sustainability ratings evaluates companies across 4 areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable supply chain. The scorecards provides an independent evidence-based assessment of ESG performance.
The assessment process cross-referenced Secop’s internal data with over 150,000 rated companies to ensure a comprehensive perspective on the company’s global impact. The bronze medal ranks Secop among the top 35% companies audited by Ecovadis in various industries.
