Boost your sustainability game with EcoVadis
Every organization faces challenges, but it’s how we respond to those challenges that defines us. For Perfect Promotions, a small to medium-sized branded promotional agency, the impetus for change came from a powerful source: their largest client. This client’s demand for ESG compliance was not just a request; it was a clarion call to elevate their sustainability practices. They needed to achieve EcoVadis certification, but they couldn't do it alone.
This is where Marshall Sustainability stepped in. We believe that successful sustainability isn't just about meeting requirements; it’s about embracing a mindset of purpose and responsibility. Our team worked closely with Perfect Promotions to develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy that would not only meet their client’s demands but also inspire their entire organization to think differently about their role in the world.
The Challenge
Perfect Promotions needed to comply with EcoVadis requirements as requested by their largest client.
The Solution
Our philosophy is that meeting these requirements should not be a box-checking exercise; it is an opportunity to transform your business and build stronger customer relationships through transparency and accountability. We crafted a holistic sustainability strategy that included:
Enhanced Employee Handbook: A clear articulation of sustainable practices was woven into their culture.
Supplier Code of Conduct: We established a rigorous set of expectations for suppliers, ensuring alignment with sustainability goals.
Supplier Assessment: A process for evaluating suppliers against these standards was implemented.
Environmental Stewardship Policies: We created tailored policies to guide everyday operations toward sustainability.
Staff Training: Ongoing education empowered employees to embrace sustainability in their roles.
Ongoing Tracking: Systems were put in place to monitor progress and ensure accountability.
The Results
The results were transformative. Perfect Promotions improved their EcoVadis rating from Silver to Gold, landing them in the top 2% of companies assessed. This achievement not only exceeded their largest client’s expectations but also opened new doors to partnerships with like-minded organizations. By embracing sustainability, they demonstrated leadership and commitment, fostering trust and loyalty with their clients.
