JN Bentley are proud to have achieved a silver medal sustainability rating from EcoVadis, placing us once again the top 25% percentile of companies assessed.
EcoVadis is the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 90,000+ rated companies. Their assessment independently evaluates our sustainability practices, scoring our commitments and performance against four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The competitive, year-on-year assessment maintains high standards that encourages organisations to consistently work hard to score high on the assessment and reflects the evolving nature of sustainability.
We are particularly proud this year to have scored ‘advanced’ for our environment approach, which recognises our positive impact across areas including nature-based solutions, biodiversity net gain, renewable energy, carbon reduction, pollution prevention, training and knowledge share, environmental stewardship, and legal compliance.
Steve Tetlow, JN Bentley Director, commented,
“Receiving this prestigious accreditation means a lot to us as a business: we are very proud of our sustainability approach and environmental commitments, including delivering low carbon solutions, promoting an inclusive organisation and procuring with purpose. We constantly seek to make responsible choices across our operations and are pleased that this silver ranking reflects our team’s efforts.
The EcoVadis assessment has also provided us with valuable insight into areas where we can continue to improve our performance, helping us shape our approach going forward to meet our commitment to be net zero by 2040 and ensure we remain an employer and partner of choice.”
Achieving a silver medal rating demonstrates our ongoing commitment to act responsibly by integrating social and environmental concerns into our business operations. We pro-actively strive to go beyond regulatory compliance when it comes to managing our impact at organisation level and seek to engage our key stakeholders, including our people, clients and supply chain, to implement our sustainability approach in a collaborative way.
