The transition from a silver to a gold medal demonstrates significant progress, achieved through refined data collection and detailed ESG initiatives. Silver medals mean EcoVadis considers your company to be in the top 15% percent of its industry – a gold medal means top 5%.
Movianto’s progress from silver to gold was driven by improved data accuracy and a comprehensive description of ESG initiatives. “It was the progress and scalability that were rewarded,” adds Lepiller. “For example, we have refined our data collection, moving from data using financial indicators to data derived from physical indicators, which is much more accurate and allows us to work with more granular data. Globally, this data approach is applied to all the Group’s entities.”
Movianto has also made significant strides across countries in calculating its carbon footprint with the help of Greenly, an external partner, and has been committed to the UN Global Compact for several years.
Most Movianto entities have achieved a silver rating, the minimum required by management at the Walden Group. If any entity receives a bronze medal on their first assessment, they are expected to address performance discrepancies and resubmit for assessment as soon as possible, according to company policy.
