What Does Our EcoVadis Score Mean?

We are proud to have achieved a Silver Medal this year, meaning Flexiteek ranks within the top 15% of all companies rated by EcoVadis globally. We’re incredibly proud of this recognition, not only as a milestone in our sustainability journey but also as a reflection of the everyday choices we make to operate responsibly and ethically.

But what does our EcoVadis score mean? It reflects that we have robust environmental policies and practices in place, along with a strong commitment to ethical labour standards and human rights. We take a proactive approach to anti-corruption and fair business practices.

Importantly, this isn’t just about how we operate internally, it also demonstrates how we apply responsible sourcing throughout our supply chain, from the materials we use to our promotional items.

How Are EcoVadis Scores Calculated?

We’re proud to share that Flexiteek has been awarded a Silver Medal by EcoVadis for 2025, placing us within the top 15% of all companies assessed globally. This recognition marks a significant milestone in our ongoing sustainability journey and reflects the responsible, ethical choices we make every day across our operations.

What Does This Mean?

Achieving this rating means that we have demonstrated strong environmental policies and practices, along with a clear commitment to ethical labour standards and human rights. It also highlights our proactive stance on anti-corruption and fair business conduct.

Our sustainability efforts also extend beyond our internal operations. The rating recognises our approach to responsible sourcing throughout the supply chain – from the raw materials we select to the promotional items we distribute.

How Are EcoVadis Scores Determined?

EcoVadis assesses companies across four key pillars:

Each pillar is evaluated using evidence, such as policies, certifications, actions taken, and reporting. These contribute to a combined score out of 100.

Medals are awarded based on a company’s percentile rank, which compares performance against all companies evaluated by EcoVadis over the past 12 months, across all industries (not just one sector).

The rankings are as follows:

Our Silver Medal recognises our consistent performance across all four pillars and demonstrates that sustainability is firmly embedded in both our everyday activities and our long-term strategic planning.

Why Does a Good EcoVadis Rating Matter to Our Customers and Partners?

At Flexiteek, sustainability is built into everything we do. That’s why our EcoVadis rating is more than just a badge it’s a practical assurance for everyone we work with.

Whether you’re a customer, distributor, or supplier, our EcoVadis score offers you confidence in our environmental and social performance. It shows we’re serious about continuous improvement, always looking for better, more responsible ways to operate.

The rating also adds transparency to our ethical sourcing and business practices. It means you can trust that your Flexiteek product is made with full compliance with global ESG standards. It also reflects a shared commitment to doing business the right way.

As more industries adopt sustainable procurement practices, working with rated partners like us becomes increasingly important. It helps our customers and collaborators meet their own sustainability goals while strengthening supply chain trust.

Our EcoVadis rating is one more way we help you move towards a more sustainable future with confidence.

What’s Next in Our Sustainability Journey?

The EcoVadis assessment undergoes an annual update, meaning this score isn’t the end of our sustainability journey – it’s a checkpoint. Each year gives us a valuable opportunity to reflect, reassess, and set new targets.

In the coming weeks, we will evaluate what the results tell us, where we’ve made progress, and where we need to improve. This process informs both our short-term actions and our long-term future sustainability goals, helping shape a clear and measurable environmental, social, and governance roadmap. This keeps us accountable and aligned with global standards. It also ensures our customers and partners can see our commitment to transparency, responsibility, and meaningful impact.

Our Silver EcoVadis Medal is more than a recognition — it’s a reflection of the values we live by at Flexiteek. It confirms that we’re on the right path, but also reminds us that sustainability is an ongoing journey, not a final destination.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to raising our standards, improving our practices, and making a lasting positive impact. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
