Biocair awarded 2023 EcoVadis silver medal

 

This is the second year of Biocair’s association with EcoVadis, the leading provider of trusted business sustainability ratings with a global network of more than 100,000 rated companies.

Biocair is proud to have achieved silver status again this year, while improving its score since receiving the accolade in 2022. In its assessment, EcoVadis evaluated Biocair on the basis of 21 criteria from the four areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

Chris Cooke, CEO at Biocair commented on the award:

“The work we have done to achieve our 2023 silver rating, the progress we have made and the improvements we continue to make in our sustainability efforts at Biocair give us much to be proud of. We recognize that sustainability is a never-ending journey. Remaining aware of new opportunities to do better, and of new emerging risks, will remain an essential part of our focus on sustainability.”

The company will use the insights gained from the EcoVadis assessment to further enhance collaboration with customers focused on sustainability. The Biocair scorecard provides customers with a transparent, independent view of the company’s dedication to sustainability throughout its business operations.

Stephen Cawley, Global Head of ESG at Biocair remarked:

“Biocair’s goal is to take the lessons from the evaluation and build them into our improvement plans for future performance. This will challenge all of us at Biocair as we focus on the areas that matter most to our customers, to the environment and to the societies around the world in which we operate. Providing sustainable solutions is an exciting challenge, and one that Biocair is equal to.

“This silver medal rating is another important indicator of our commitment to sustainability and provides us with a strong base on which to build.”
