EcoVadis Bronze Sustainability Rating

Recognising Our Commitment to Responsible Manufacturing

At Advanex Europe, we are committed to sustainable and ethical business practices that go beyond compliance and drive long-term value for our customers, employees, and the environment. We are proud to have achieved a Bronze Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings.

This recognition places Advanex Europe among the top 50% of companies assessed globally by EcoVadis and reflects our ongoing efforts to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every aspect of our operations.

What Is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis provides a globally recognised platform that evaluates and rates companies’ sustainability practices across four key pillars:

  • Environment

  • Labour & Human Rights

  • Ethics

  • Sustainable Procurement

The EcoVadis methodology is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000.

Each assessment results in a scorecard with detailed insights, which companies can use to benchmark their performance and demonstrate transparency to customers and stakeholders.
