Freefoam Building Products has been assessed by the sustainability rating platform EcoVadis to be in the top 9% of companies worldwide for its environmental practices, and granted the manufacturer continued use of its Silver medal status.
Chief operating officer Kevin Cronin, pictured, said: “Our new assessment is even more impressive because the criteria for the Silver EcoVadis rating was recently adjusted, so it’s much more challenging to achieve now.
“Previously, the top 25% of companies assessed were awarded Silver medals – now, you have to be in the top 15%. But Freefoam’s sustainability practices comfortably meet even these new requirements.”
He continued: “We have found EcoVadis a simple and effective way to communicate our sustainability commitments and performance to our value chain partners.”
EcoVadis is an evidence-based assessment that audits a company’s sustainability management system. It rates the maturity of your policies, commitments, actions, reporting and certifications across four key themes (Environment, Ethics, Labor and Human Rights, and Sustainable Procurement).
