Ecovadis provides the relevant metrics and tools to further develop sustainable business practices and manage stakeholders to achieve our purpose of creating opportunities and delivering sustainable supply chains to all stakeholders. The bronze medal underpins our commitment to the development of sustainable processes and business environments and is a good foundation to improve on by continuing to develop sustainable systems and processes. The resulting action plan will be integrated into our sourcing and supplier review processes, as well as our internal development system.”
