EcoVadis sustainability ratings
CHT evaluates environmental, social and ethical impacts and risks
Since 2016, the CHT Group has been EcoVadis audited and certified regularely, based on documented evidence. The EcoVadis sustainability assessment is a globally recognized, independent and fee-based service for evaluating the business practices and significant sustainability impacts of companies and supply chains.
EcoVadis provides companies from more than 200 industries with holistic sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) ratings through a compelling technology platform. The EcoVadis platform helps companies document, manage and communicate their company's CSR performance in a clear and transparent way.
The EcoVadis rating covers a wide range of non-financial management systems, including environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Each company is evaluated on the subjects that are specifically relevant to its size, location and industry.
These evidence-based assessments are translated into scorecards with scores ranging from zero to one hundred (0-100) and medals (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum). In addition, the scorecards highlight strengths and areas for improvement that assessed companies can use to better target and improve their sustainable management. Individual corrective action plans promote optimization of company-specific sustainability performance.
Assessed companies can also see how their own company compares to their own industry and what potential for improvement exists. This provides additional optimal support for continuous improvements.
EcoVadis is recognized as the world's most trusted provider of sustainability assessments and has assessed over 75,000 business partners, including large multinationals, around the world. This has mitigated the risks of some of the world's largest companies while making a positive contribution to the environment, promoting transparency and driving innovation.
