“We had many things to do, such as prepare data, travel for the briefings, and negotiate face-to-face. It was impossible to handle all these tasks in such a short amount of time within the limited resources of the global procurement department alone."

"Adopting an inclusive mindset is not only desired but required while working within or with our company. Just as we apply our DEI standards in our procurement policy, we expect our suppliers to do the same."

"We encourage clients across all sectors to improve their sustainability performance and offer them incentives to do so. Companies can benefit from a sustainability rating and an improved rating can result in a lower cost of funding."

"Data is a key challenge - we needed quality insights to drive the right conversations, and EcoVadis helped us achieve this."

"EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager has brought efficiency so we can do more with less. Every insight we get is used in a smart way to support decision-making."

”Through our partnership with Mitsui Chemicals, the company has optimized domestic long-haul transport by switching from trucks to ships and implementing shared container use, reducing empty container trips and improving logistics efficiency."

"By acting responsibly, we wanted to create long-term value for all of our stakeholders. In 2012, we decided to spread our beliefs and values across the supply chain. We decided to look for a third-party company, an expert in sustainability, to support us in this task."

"We’re really using CAM to be able to allow us to identify which suppliers are more mature and which are less mature on their decarbonization strategy."

"IQ Plus enables us to proactively identify and mitigate risks around modern slavery, human rights and ethics."

"Partnering with EcoVadis has not only accelerated our improvement journey but also fostered greater transparency and trust across our supply chains."

"EcoVadis offers the essential tools and intelligence to drive measurable improvements and sustainable growth."

"In addition to providing a high quality service, it was also important for us to ask ourselves how we could provide a service that is considered to be ethically sustainable."
