What is the EcoVadis Rating?
What is the EcoVadis Rating?EcoVadis assesses companies’ sustainability practices from a holistic perspective. The rating is based on a range of topics including environmental, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement impacts. According to their website, companies that partner with EcoVadis are “rated on the material issues as they pertain to their company’s size, location, and industry.”
Once EcoVadis has made its assessment, the results will be provided to the company via a scorecard. The scorecard displays a rating between 0 and 100, with 100 being the highest rating your business may receive. The scorecard also provides the company with specified guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the company’s sustainability efforts so that they can create a corrective action plan for improved performance.
Aloha Medicinals’ EcoVadis Rating
Aloha Medicinals received a “Silver” rating for its sustainability practices and is currently in the 84th percentile. Out of the four categories, Aloha’s highest ranking was in Labor and Human Rights. The Labor and Human Rights category is based on an organization’s working environment as well as its employee policies. An exemplary company satisfies key working conditions for all employees and offers opportunities for growth.
A high score in the Labor & Human Rights EcoVadis rating scale indicates a business that provides a healthy balance between work and personal life. The ultimate goal is to create an environment where our employees can be safe, happy, healthy, and motivated to provide quality service and products while delivering environmentally friendly outcomes.
These results indicate a very high level of sustainability maturity which is ideal for business owners to achieve today.
