Groundsure achieves Silver ESG Rating from Ecovadis

We are delighted to announce that we have received the silver award from Ecovadis for our Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) performance and are now in the Top 15% of companies audited by Ecovadis this year. 

EcoVadis is the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 130,000+ rated companies. They are recording rising scores across their platform as businesses make encouraging progress on their ESG policies, making our promotion from Bronze last year to Silver a particular achievement. 

Building on our BCorp certification success in September 2023, which has added additional endorsement of our approach, we have continued to implement the policies and commitments for this year. We have improved across the board on factors covering environment, labour & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. 

Successes have also included establishing our current emissions footprint, refreshing our recruitment, onboarding and training with Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) in mind and continuing to work with our community.

The Ecovadis platform helps organisations manage sustainability in their supply chain and organisations within those supply chains to drive and demonstrate their ESG competence. It is also becoming a key procurement compliance requirement to provide many leading organisations. For example, it is a required status in supporting Natwest bank with our Siteguard environmental risk reports for their valuation network.

Consultancy Director, Ceri Sansom commented: “This is a fantastic recognition of all the hard work and results we have achieved over the last year. Building on our B Corp status, it has been really important to demonstrate real change within the business, as well as “walking the walk” and encouraging other organisations to join the sustainability journey.”
