In a significant move for the sustainability landscape, Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services, has been named as an Accredited Consulting Partner by EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.
The partnership solidifies Bureau Veritas’ position as a go-to expert in guiding companies through the EcoVadis assessment process. As an Accredited Consulting Partner, the firm is now formally equipped to help businesses complete comprehensive sustainability evaluations, review their scores, and implement strategies to enhance their performance across key areas such as Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
“This accreditation is a testament to Bureau Veritas’ deep expertise in sustainability and our commitment to supporting organisations on their journey towards more responsible business practices,” said Helen Bray, Sustainability Director at Bureau Veritas UK & Ireland. “We are excited to leverage our global reach and technical know-how to help companies navigate the EcoVadis assessment and unlock the benefits of improved sustainability performance.”
The EcoVadis rating system has become the global standard for evaluating and monitoring the sustainability efforts of companies across their supply chains. By obtaining an EcoVadis rating, organisations can demonstrate their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials to customers, investors, and other stakeholders, positioning themselves as leaders in sustainable business.
“Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ – it is a business imperative,” added Bray. “Our partnership with EcoVadis will enable us to provide our clients with the tools, expertise, and support they need to enhance their sustainability performance and gain a competitive edge in the market.”
As an Accredited Consulting Partner, Bureau Veritas will work closely with EcoVadis to deliver a comprehensive suite of services, including gap analyses, action plan development, and performance improvement strategies. This collaboration will empower businesses to not only achieve higher EcoVadis scores but also implement meaningful, long-term sustainability initiatives that create value for their stakeholders and the planet.
“We are delighted to welcome Bureau Veritas as an Accredited Consulting Partner,” said Frédéric Trinel, Co-CEO and Co-founder of EcoVadis. “Their global presence and deep expertise in sustainability make them an ideal partner to help companies navigate the EcoVadis assessment and drive positive change throughout their supply chains.”
The partnership between Bureau Veritas and EcoVadis underscores the growing importance of sustainability in the global business landscape. As companies face increasing pressure to demonstrate their environmental and social responsibility, the collaboration between these two industry leaders will provide a powerful solution for organisations seeking to enhance their sustainability performance and unlock new opportunities for growth and resilience.
