Sustanability: Reduce environmental impact and improve your social responsability
The Ecovadis Medal is therefore a global benchmark for assessing the environmental, social, and ethical performance of companies. In fact, this distinction is awarded to companies precisely to assess and recognize their performance in terms of sustainability, social responsibility, and efforts to reduce environmental impact.
Furthermore, Ecovadis provides an in-depth assessment, covering a wide range of criteria in order to measure the overall impact of companies on society, the environment, and their sustainability initiatives.
Thus, winning an Ecovadis medal is not just an honour; rather, it’s also a mark of credibility and transparency. Indeed, it demonstrates our commitment to high standards of corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability, and a proactive approach to reduce environmental impact.
By achieving the Silver Medal, we are clearly demonstrating that we comply with strict criteria and implement best practices in our day-to-day operations, while prioritizing actions that reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability wherever possible.
International CSR standards: A rigorous framework
The Ecovadis assessment therefore follows international Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards. Specifically, these standards include the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000. In addition, these international standards provide a clear framework for assessing companies’ performance on sustainability and ethical criteria. Thus, the assessment enables companies to measure their progress in sustainability and align their practices with globally recognized benchmarks
CSR performance indicators further more sustanability
The Ecovadis CSR Scorecard is based on 21 separate indicators, divided into four main themes:
- Environment: Environmental impact of the company’s activities, management of natural resources, initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, etc.
- Social and Human Rights: Policies and practices on working conditions, employee rights, diversity and inclusion.
- Ethics: Standards of business conduct, anti-corruption and anti-competitive practices.
- Responsible Purchasing: supplier selection and management practices, integration of sustainability criteria into the supply chain.
Our award: The silver medal
Our French company manufactures innovative, environmentally-friendly packaging. In fact, our commitment to corporate social responsibility is essential to our mission and identity, with a strong focus on sustainability and efforts to reduce environmental impact.
This year’s silver award further recognises our efforts to integrate sustainable and ethical practices into all our activities. We have taken significant steps to reduce our environmental impact, save energy, and manage natural resources responsibly. As a result, we are able to create more sustainable solutions while protecting the environment.
We have also put in place initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and promote responsible management of natural resources, all aligned with our commitment to sustainability.
Moreover, in particular, we have developed eco-responsible paper packaging. Our transition packaging offers an ecological alternative without compromising product protection and conservation. Thus, we are balancing environmental responsibility with functionality.
By adopting this innovative packaging, we are helping to reduce the use of single-use plastics and promote a circular economy, which in turn helps to further advance our goals of sustainability and reducing environmental impact

By obtaining the CSR label, we are demonstrating our dedication to long-term initiatives that benefit both the environment and society. Moreover, we have put in place strategies tailored to our business sector to maximise our positive impact. Through these concerted efforts, we continue to improve our CSR performance and inspire other companies to follow our example.
