reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

 

With Whom Are They Sharing?

Procurement teams at over 1200 multinationals use EcoVadis ratings to make purchasing decisions everyday.

Atlinks Holding Ltd.

Atlinks is principally engaged in home and office telecommunication product designing. Their customers include large consumers retail chain stores, telecom operators and distributors mainly located in Europe and Latin America.

Back in 2012, one first-tier telecom operator customer requested us to fill in the questionnaire as a supplier and then a second one. We soon saw the benefits of joining the EcoVadis program. It is a very well-known platform for CSR evaluation and other customers were also asking to see our assessment. Plus the fact that we got good results encouraged us to communicate this more widely to our customers.
Sustainability assessments are now part of our management system and are planned at the end of the yearly cycle of activities, programs, training, audits, awareness and reviews. This has also proved very useful for our IPO because the Hong Kong Exchange market is very demanding when it comes to sustainability. We had a number of initiatives in place before but EcoVadis helped us structure them and create value for our customers.

Bain & Company

We've done the assessment eight times, and we initially started it because of a client request. The EcoVadis assessment is a useful tool to guide us in our sustainability journey. We found the questionnaire really self-explanatory

It’s an important achievement that reflects our vision and mission as a company.

CAFIVER

CAFIVER is a privately owned Mexican company with over 30 years experience in coffee processing and domestic & international coffee trade.

The complexity with working with small producers in this field is that coffee business is a family business, and as such it might involve child labor. We work to make them understand that children need to be involved in others activities such as school.

Comptel

Since 1986, Comptel Corporation has grown to become a global leader of digital and communication services in two main areas – Intelligent Data and Service Orchestration. Operating with an international team of more than 750
professionals serving nearly 300 service providers across 90 countries.

It was really hard to answer some of the questionnaires from other clients whose questions were focused on environmental aspects related to the product
manufacturing and recycling. The EcoVadis questionnaire was not asking those questions that were not relevant, and I was glad to see it was more focused
on software companies like us.

Sari Hilden Quality Manager Comptel Corporation
EA Engineering

EA is a 100% employee-owned public benefit corporation that provides environmental, compliance, natural resources, and infrastructure engineering and management solutions to a wide range of public and private sector clients.

It was in great interest to us as an organization to have EcoVadis come in and look at exactly what we are doing to give us some opportunities to learn what we can improve upon, as well as what we are doing well and maybe create opportunities to enhance those aspects of our program.

Michael Battle Chief Operating Officer
Firmenich

Firmenich SA is a private Swiss company in the fragrance and flavor business. It is the largest privately owned company in the field and ranks number two worldwide. Firmenich has created perfumes for over 100 years and produced a number of well-known scents.

EcoVadis has become a strategic tool for us and a way to structure what we do. And also a way to engage our teams. From a business point of view, a lot of our clients who know EcoVadis ask for EcoVadis Rating. It certainly helps create a common ground with our clients as well. I think we are looking forward in the future to do the same with our suppliers and to create this very interesting positive chain, from brands all the way down to farmers or suppliers in our other fields.
