We are delighted to announce that we have received a Gold Rating as part of the EcoVadis scheme. The gold rating is the highest rating that an organisation can achieve.
To achieve this rating, earlier in the year we submitted a large portfolio of evidence outlining the processes we have in place which ensure our supply chain is working to encourage sustainable, ethical, socially responsible and environmentally friendly practices.
The report highlighted 3 outstanding areas where geo was in the top 10% of suppliers, these were:
- top 5% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis in all categories.
- top 6% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis in the category of ‘Manufacture of measuring, testing, navigating and control equipment’ for Labour Practices.
- top 6% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis in the category of ‘Manufacture of measuring, testing, navigating and control equipment’ for Fair Business Practices.
