Advancing Sustainability Performance
EcoVadis, a globally recognized third-party sustainability rating platform, assesses companies across Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Our 2024 score of 67/100 marks a 7-point improvement from our previous assessment—an important step forward in our sustainability journey.
Key Areas of Progress
- Environment: Improved environmental practices and stronger sustainability initiatives helped drive our highest gains.
- Labor & Human Rights: We enhanced workplace conditions, safety measures, and human rights policies.
- Ethics: While maintaining a strong ethics score, we remain committed to transparency and integrity in business.
Navigating Stricter Criteria
This year’s EcoVadis evaluation introduced more stringent grading and an expanded set of questions. To meet these new standards, we revised and strengthened many of our policies and procedures, demonstrating our ability to adapt and improve.
Looking Ahead: Driving Further Impact
“Our focus remains on advancing sustainability efforts in both the short and long term,” says Cathy Blervacq, Sibelco Vice-President Sustainability. “We will continue refining our policies and working with our suppliers and customers to enhance sustainability across our value chain.”
An exciting opportunity ahead is leveraging EcoVadis insights to better understand Scope 3 emissions, helping us work towards more sustainable production and distribution.
A Silver Medal and a Stronger Future
Achieving a Silver medal reinforces our progress and dedication to ESG principles. “With a clear path forward, we are excited to continue this journey and achieve even greater sustainability milestones,” says Wies Vanstockem, Sustainability Manager.
At Sibelco, sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and we remain committed to creating a positive impact on our business, the planet, and society.
