Sustainability is reshaping business performance
Sustainability is becoming one of the strongest forces shaping competitiveness. During our EcoVadis webinar on 27 August 2026, we explored how this shift is transforming the way companies operate, develop business and build long‑term resilience.
Today, 91% of companies integrate sustainability criteria in purchasing decisions, and more than 50,000 organizations are impacted by CSRD. ESG data is becoming mainstream, and buyers increasingly rely on standardized labels and certifications to assess sustainability performance.
EcoVadis has emerged as one of these labels, a shared language used by 175,000+ rated companies and 1,400 procurement organizations worldwide.
In this context, sustainability performance is no longer a “nice-to-have”. It has become a business credential.
EcoVadis: a common language for credible sustainability performance
EcoVadis provides a comparable, recognized and structured way to assess sustainability maturity across four themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
As we highlighted during the webinar: “EcoVadis rewards what can be demonstrated, not simply what exists.”
This shift pushes companies to move beyond intentions and build a robust ESG management system, one that can withstand audits, support business growth and reinforce trust with clients, employees and investors.
Our journey in two years
Avertim’s progression from Bronze to Platinum is not the story of a single project. It is the result of a structured, disciplined and cross‑functional transformation.
From Bronze to Gold (2022–2023): compliance excellence
We discovered that many ESG actions already existed, but were not formalized according to EcoVadis requirements. By aligning policies, defining scopes, naming owners, strengthening KPIs and consolidating proof of deployment, we have increased our compliance maturity.
From Gold to Platinum (2024): reporting as a backbone
We published our first sustainability report aligned with GRI, connecting ambitions, targets, measures and KPIs into one consistent ESG performance framework.
Reaching Platinum top 1% (2025): external audit
An audited ESG management system, stronger governance and clear ownership across functions pushed us to 91/100, placing Avertim in the top 1% of rated companies.
Each assessment became the starting point for the next improvement cycle.
What made fast progress possible
Sustainability is no longer about compliance. It is about resilience and long‑term performance.
Looking ahead
Whether organizations are just starting, improving or aiming higher, EcoVadis offers a powerful framework to structure ESG approach and turn sustainability into concrete business value.
Our journey shows that progress is possible, when strategy, compliance and ownership come together.
The conversation continues. And the opportunity starts now.
