TSG Ireland, as part of TSG Group, has achieved Silver status for a second consecutive year under EcoVadis – the world’s largest and most trusted independent sustainability ratings provider. Ecovadis is a collaborative platform, that allows companies to evaluate how well they have integrated the principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility into their business operating model and management systems.
These annual assessments grade the performance of an organisation across 21 standards, to create a sustainability scorecard that illustrates its performance in four individual categories:
- Environment
- Labour & Human Rights
- Ethics
- Sustainable Procurement
Allocation of the EcoVadis sustainability awards is based on a company’s achievement of a minimum percentile score in the areas listed above. The current medal criteria are as follows:
- Platinum – top 1% (overall score between 78 and 100)
- Gold – top 5% (overall score between 70 and 77)
- Silver – top 25% (overall score between 59 and 69)
- Bronze – top 50% (overall score between 50 and 58)
This highly respected award is the result of a lengthy assessment process involving many individuals and teams from around the business, reinforcing TSG Ireland’s position as a leading supplier to the energy sector.
