Clark Contracts has once again been recognised for its commitment to sustainability, receiving a fourth consecutive Silver Medal from EcoVadis. This global leader in business sustainability assessments has placed Clark Contracts within the top 15% of rated companies worldwide, out of a pool of over 130,000 businesses.
EcoVadis' comprehensive assessment evaluates companies across four key themes: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The assessment is based on international sustainability standards such as the UN Global Compact, ILO conventions, GRI standards, and ISO 26000.
The Silver Medal reflects Clark Contracts' strong performance and provides a valuable benchmark for continuous improvement. The company will use the detailed assessment to identify areas for further development and implement strategies to enhance its sustainability practices.
Gordon Cunningham, Managing Director, Clark Contracts, said: "As a business, we are committed to continually improving our sustainability performance, and reducing our carbon footprint. We have taken numerous measures to reduce this, including an Electric Vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, energy improvements in our offices, and carbon reduction initiatives on sites, including the use of solar powered and hybrid cabins and generators. As we move towards becoming Net Zero, this award re-enforces our commitments and recognises our performance and dedication to carbon reduction."
