Recorra has been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal, placing us in the top 15% of nearly 50,000 companies assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.

What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is a globally recognised platform that assesses how well organisations manage their environmental, social and ethical responsibilities.

It reviews policies, actions and performance across four areas: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. The rating provides an independent measure of how effectively a business embeds sustainability into its operations and supply chain

It evaluates companies across four key areas:

  • Environment: How we mitigate, control and reduce our environmental impact
  • Labour and Human Rights: Fair treatment and safety of employees
  • Ethics: Integrity, anti-corruption and responsible business conduct
  • Sustainable Procurement: Ensuring our supply chain aligns with our sustainability values

A Silver rating shows that Recorra is performing well above industry norms and embedding sustainability into the way we work, every day.
