Luxury packaging specialist Pusterla 1880 UK has retained its EcoVadis Platinum rating, consolidating the company’s position in the top one per cent of businesses globally assessed by EcoVadis for sustainability performance.
EcoVadis is a globally recognised assessment platform that rates a business’s sustainability performance based on four key criteria: environment, labour & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Pusterla’s latest accreditation saw the company increase its overall score to 88% with particularly strong showings for environment and labour & human rights.
“We are delighted not only to have retained our Platinum status but also to have demonstrated further improvements throughout our operations,” said Samantha Rice, Group HR Director & UK Country Manager, Pusterla 1880.
“From climate action and responsible sourcing to employee wellbeing and ethical governance, sustainability and good practice remain embedded in everything we do. That’s why Platinum is a must-have for our business. Thank you to everyone across Pusterla who makes this possible.”
Highlights of Pusterla’s sustainability initiatives over the past 12 months include the introduction of a sustainable procurement programme, the launch of a new carbon tool to assess the impact of its manufacturing and identify ways to reduce emissions, and further development of its contract packing operation to provide a one-stop service that helps to minimise delivery miles.
Since its foundation in 2007, EcoVadis has grown to become the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of 150,000+ rated companies.
