Arco Gets Gold Medal for Sustainability from EcoVadis

Arco has been recognised again for their commitment to sustainability, achieving a Gold rating from EcoVadis, the world's top business sustainability rating agency.

This Gold status places Arco among the top 5% of over 1,20,000 companies assessed. EcoVadis particularly commended Arco's exceptional environmental leadership within the industry.

Driving Sustainability Forward

Their recent sustainability efforts include:

• Launching a new line of eco-friendly high-visibility clothing.
• Installing a massive solar panel system on their National Distribution Centre roof.

These initiatives demonstrate Arco's dedication to a greener future.

EcoVadis' Rigorous Assessment

EcoVadis' rating system meticulously evaluates a company's sustainability management system, focusing on three key pillars:

• Policies: Do they have a clear and comprehensive sustainability plan?
• Actions: Are they actively implementing sustainable practices?
• Results: Are these practices making a measurable difference?

Their team of international sustainability experts analyse company data, considering factors like industry, size, and location, to ensure a fair and accurate assessment. EcoVadis also continuously refines its rating methodology to stay at the forefront of sustainability best practices.

Jim Harbidge, head of sustainability at Arco, says: "At Arco, we continually review and improve practices across the business to ensure we deliver best practice in sustainability. We are extremely proud of this award and what it means for our products, those who make them and our customers who share our aims and values. We still aspire to achieve the 'Platinum' award and will continue to find new ways to differentiate ourselves as a responsible choice of safety partner."
