What is CSR?
CSR is the continuing commitment to behave responsibly by integrating social and environmental concerns into business operations. CSR goes beyond regulatory compliance to focus on how companies manage their economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as their relationships with stakeholders (e.g., employees, suppliers, government).
Who or What is EcoVadis?
The EcoVadis methodology framework assesses the policies and measures put in place with regards to environmental, fair, and sustainable business practices for internal as well as external stakeholders and ranks an organization according to their standards. The assessment is completely tailored to the organization’s industry, and EcoVadis’ certificates have been widely recognized as a reliable tool to evaluate an organization's CSR practices. The methodology and criteria are in line with international CSR standards including the Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000.
