Understanding EcoVadis
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most recognised sustainability rating platforms, used by organisations to assess performance across four key areas: environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Ratings are awarded based on how an organisation performs against these criteria compared with businesses around the world. For IT leaders and procurement teams, an EcoVadis rating provides a trusted benchmark of a supplier’s commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices.
Why it matters
Over 130,000 companies are assessed using the EcoVadis scoring system, and achieving a high rating is a recognised benchmark of corporate responsibility and sustainable business performance.
A Gold rating is more than just a credential. It sends a clear message that sustainability is being taken seriously and is viewed as an essential requirement across all aspects of IT and procurement. It demonstrates how organisations are preparing for changing regulations, evolving markets, and growing expectations around responsible technology, while remaining committed to reducing their environmental impact and building a more sustainable future.
A Milestone for Sumillion
We are delighted to have been awarded EcoVadis Gold status. This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to creating a more sustainable IT industry and a better future for our planet. With an assessment score of 84/100, we have been placed in the 97th percentile of all organisations assessed globally by EcoVadis.
This achievement demonstrates how sustainability, ethical business practices, and responsible procurement are deeply embedded within the way we operate. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to building on these foundations and driving even greater positive impact across the IT sector.
