We are delighted to announce that Arcadia has once again been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Rating, marking our third consecutive year at the highest level of sustainability recognition.
Even more pleasing is the fact that our overall EcoVadis score has increased from 87 to 90, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to improving our environmental, ethical, and responsible business practices year after year.
This latest result places Arcadia among the top 1% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis globally over the past 12 months, achieving a 99+ percentile ranking. EcoVadis is one of the world's most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, assessing companies across key areas including Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
About EcoVadis
EcoVadis assesses businesses on their sustainability performance across four key themes: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Platinum recognition is awarded only to companies ranked within the top 1% of all organisations assessed globally, based on their percentile ranking against all companies evaluated during the previous 12 months.
At a score of 90 and a 99+ percentile ranking, Arcadia is proud to be recognised among the world's leading businesses for sustainability performance.
Continuous Improvement, Not Just Compliance
For us, sustainability is not a box-ticking exercise. It is embedded throughout our business, influencing the products we source, the suppliers we partner with, the packaging we use and the advice we provide to our customers.
Achieving Platinum status for a third consecutive year reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as our commitment to continuously raising standards rather than simply maintaining them.
The increase from 87 to 90 demonstrates that we continue to strengthen our sustainability management systems, improve transparency within our supply chain and develop more responsible branded merchandise solutions for our customers.
What This Means for Our Customers
Many organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate responsible procurement and improve the sustainability of their supply chains. By working with Arcadia, customers can be confident they are partnering with a supplier that has been independently assessed against globally recognised sustainability criteria.
Whether you are sourcing promotional products for a marketing campaign, employee engagement programme, corporate event, or global merchandise rollout, our EcoVadis Platinum rating provides additional assurance that sustainability sits at the heart of everything we do.
Looking Ahead
While we are incredibly proud of this achievement, we see it as another milestone rather than a destination.
The sustainability landscape continues to evolve, and so do we. We remain committed to driving innovation in sustainable branded merchandise, expanding our range of environmentally responsible products, and helping our customers make better procurement decisions.
Thank you to our customers, suppliers and team members who have supported us on this journey.
Here's to another year of continuous improvement.
