SESCO announced on August 24 that it has received the 'Gold Medal' from EcoVadis, an organization that awards the top 5% of companies globally for sustainability assessments.
Based in Paris, EcoVadis operates the world's largest platform for evaluating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, with over 150,000 companies participating from more than 180 countries.
EcoVadis conducts in-depth evaluations across four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, assigning ratings of Platinum (top 1%), Gold (top 5%), Silver (top 15%), and Bronze (top 35%).
SESCO achieved the Gold Medal just one year after receiving Silver last year. This accomplishment follows its ongoing efforts to implement ESG practices, which began with obtaining ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certifications in 2021. SESCO currently holds ISO certifications in a total of seven sectors.
SESCO was the first in the industry to publish a sustainability management report and has joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) this year to integrate universal principles into its management practices.
A SESCO representative stated, "The acquisition of the EcoVadis Gold rating is a result of the efforts of all employees to cultivate and establish ESG values beyond just providing hygiene solutions for living environments." The representative added, "Having met the sustainability standards required by the global market, we will further enhance our competitiveness in business-to-business transactions both domestically and internationally."
