Valeo Foods has been awarded a Gold rating by EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability assessments. We recently completed our assessment with EcoVadis and have been ranked amongst the top 5% of all companies rated by EcoVadis globally and in the top 2% for the food industry.
The EcoVadis process validates our sustainability commitments, practices and performance. The assessment includes 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
This Gold EcoVadis rating recognises the commitment Valeo Foods is taking to reduce environmental impact, promote ethical labour practices, and foster a transparent and responsible business environment.
CEO Ronald Kers said
“We are immensely proud of achieving the Gold EcoVadis rating. This independent assessment validates Valeo Foods ongoing commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. Together, with our validated near-term and net-zero science-based targets, our Gold EcoVadis rating endorses the measures we are taking to embed sustainable practices across our business, as part of our sustainable growth strategy. Congratulations to the entire team for the achievement!”
Dr Grainne O’Halloran, Head of ESG at Valeo Foods Group added:
“Our Gold EcoVadis rating recognises the steps Valeo Foods are taking to implement, and continuously improve sustainable practices in our business and throughout our value chain. This third-party rating is not only important for our customers and suppliers to trust that they are working with a responsible business, but also a reminder to our own employees of the commitments we have made to positively impact our planet, our people, our producers, our products and all our partners.”
