Benvic earns EcoVadis gold medal for third year
Bourgogne, France – For the past four years, the Benvic Group has entrusted EcoVadis, one of the foremost providers of sustainability ratings, to assess their performance and progress around four themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement; and as such Benvic earned a Gold Medal for the third year in a row – this time reaching the 98th percentile in our industry showing improvement on all metrics.
EcoVadis’s recognition of Benvic’s proactive and responsible business model honors the efforts of all its staff. Through their ideas, work, and passion, they are responsible for the company’s continuous progress as a conscientious entity. People are key to a better world, and Benvic intends to remain a nurturing place for all. The implementation of clear guidelines for its values (Whistleblowing procedure, Diversity policy, and Code of Conduct for Suppliers, among others) is one of the reasons for its great EcoVadis rating.
Another reason is Benvic’s ability to work and innovate with its stakeholders. Sustainable design is a core piece of Benvic’s identity. Its engineers work on incorporating ever more recyclate into its products while maintaining the best output quality. The teams invent new ways to collaborate with clients, so that more recyclate can be collected, and clients can conceive great recycled products. The bio-based Plantura range also expands every year with new offers. Technology is an integral component of a successful fight for the environment, and Benvic is glad to contribute in this regard.
Looking to the future, Benvic is building solid foundations for sustainable procurement. After carrying out an environmental assessment of its suppliers, it is now integrating ESG criteria in its selection process, ensuring that it works with partners in line with its vision. This should help further reduce its scope 3 GHG emissions, with the avowed ambition of becoming carbon neutral on all three scopes.
From this solid base, Benvic is confident that it will continue to bring value to an ever more complex world, and that its efforts will continue to be recognized. This leaves the company energized for the challenges ahead, vowing to always do better.
