Alphabet in top 15% for sustainable business practices

BUSINESS mobility provider Alphabet (GB) has been awarded the EcoVadis silver medal for high-ranking sustainability performance.

Coming shortly after Alphabet was awarded for its training, it places Alphabet (GB) in the top 15% of over 100,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis; a global provider of sustainability ratings, which specialises in assessing and improving the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of companies, particularly within supply chains.

Natasha Foley (pictured), ESG Officer for Alphabet (GB) and BMW Financial Services (GB), said: “To receive a silver medal on our first evaluation demonstrates the quality of our sustainable management systems and approach to sustainable topics.”

“It’s a significant milestone, and serves as a motivator towards continuous improvement, while acknowledging team members’ achievements to inspire others to adopt similar practices.”

The certification recognises Alphabet’s commitment to greener and responsible business practices across the four pillars of environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

To ensure a fair outcome, EcoVadis tailors its questionnaires, methodology and analysis to the specific industry and context of each company. To be eligible for a silver medal, companies must achieve a high score in each of the four management areas. This award period extends for 12 months, after which Alphabet will undergo a follow-up routine evaluation
