Wow, we did it!
We feel like Olympic champions: In 2024, we once again hold the coveted EcoVadis gold medal in our hands. A tremendous success in a year marked by increasing challenges! For us, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it’s our responsibility and our commitment. Together with myclimate and amfori BSCI, we ensure that our supply chain remains consistently evaluated and improved.
EcoVadis – what?
The label explained in a nutshell.
Never heard of EcoVadis? No worries! EcoVadis is the gold standard when it comes to transparency and tangible sustainability in businesses. With a comprehensive evaluation system, EcoVadis examines the ethical, social, and environmental aspects of the entire supply chain. The result? A clear, meaningful rating that shows where your company stands and where there’s room for improvement.
With over 100’000 companies rated in more than 160 countries, EcoVadis is one of the largest independent sustainability ratings worldwide. The evaluations are based on international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the UN Global Compact, serving as a reliable benchmark for sustainable business practices. EcoVadis makes it possible – clear, transparent, and measurable!
Top rating:
The benchmark that is always higher.
Achieving Gold status with EcoVadis has always been challenging – and starting in 2024, it will be even more demanding. Only the top 5% of companies will earn the Gold medal. To succeed here, companies must prove themselves as true pioneers in sustainability. The tightened criteria focus clearly on climate protection, human rights, and fair supply chains. Those aiming for this award must go even further and show that sustainability is not just a trend, but a genuine commitment. Even more impressive is the fact that our detailed assessment placed us in the 97th percentile. This means we outperform 97% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis in our industry – or in other words: we are in the top 3%.
Environmental protection has been important to us since bb trading was founded. For over 20 years, we’ve been distributing our promotional products in the most environmentally conscious way possible.
