Flexiteek’s 2026 EcoVadis Rating: Sustainability Progress and Next Steps

Flexiteek International Ltd has received its latest EcoVadis sustainability rating for 2026. We are proud to announce that we have achieved an overall score of 71/100, representing a 2-point improvement compared to our previous assessment and significant progress across our sustainability management system.

While our medal ranking has changed from Silver to Bronze this year due to the way EcoVadis rankings are benchmarked against other participating companies, our overall performance has improved. Our score increased across the assessment areas, with particularly strong progress in Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

In this blog, we’ll explore what EcoVadis is, why it matters, what our latest score means, how the assessment works, and the next steps we are taking as part of our ongoing sustainability journey.

What Is EcoVadis and Why Is It Important?

EcoVadis is a globally recognised independent platform that assesses companies on their sustainability performance across four key areas:

The assessment provides companies with a detailed review of their sustainability practices, evaluating areas such as policies, actions, reporting, certifications, and external recognition.

For Flexiteek, participating in the EcoVadis assessment provides independent validation of our sustainability approach. It helps us identify areas where we are performing strongly, while also highlighting opportunities where we can continue to improve.

What Does Our EcoVadis Score Mean?

We are pleased to have achieved an EcoVadis score of 71/100 for 2026, an improvement from our previous overall score.

This result reflects the continued development of our sustainability management system and the work taking place across Flexiteek to operate responsibly and transparently.

Although our medal position moved from Silver to Bronze, this does not reflect a decline in our sustainability performance. EcoVadis medals are awarded based on percentile rankings, meaning they compare our performance against all companies assessed by EcoVadis during the same period.

This year, despite improving our score, the wider group of assessed companies achieved stronger results overall. As a result, our ranking moved from the 85th percentile to the 80th percentile, placing us within the top 35% of companies assessed globally.

The EcoVadis medal system is designed to recognise relative performance, meaning improvements made by other companies can influence rankings even when a company’s own score increases. Our focus remains on continuing to improve our own sustainability performance and building on the progress we have already achieved.

Where Have We Improved?

Our 2026 assessment showed positive progress across multiple areas, with significant improvements across the individual assessment categories.

The greatest improvements were seen in the following areas:

Ethics

Our progress in Ethics reflects the continued strengthening of our responsible business practices, including our approach to ethical conduct, compliance, and transparency.

Sustainable Procurement

We have also made significant improvements in Sustainable Procurement, demonstrating our continued focus on responsible sourcing and working with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability.

These improvements show the impact of the actions already taken and provide a strong foundation for further progress.

Where Are We Focusing Next?

Our key focus areas for improvement include strengthening sustainability reporting, further developing environmental initiatives, progressing key certifications and standards, and enhancing supply chain assessments.

These priorities will help us continue to improve transparency, strengthen our management systems, and build on the progress already made across the business.

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

At Flexiteek, sustainability is an important part of how we operate. Our EcoVadis assessment provides customers, suppliers, and partners with confidence that we are actively managing our environmental and social responsibilities.

A strong sustainability rating demonstrates our commitment to:

As sustainability becomes increasingly important throughout global supply chains, working with responsible partners helps businesses achieve their own environmental and social objectives.

Our EcoVadis rating provides an independent view of our progress. It reinforces our commitment to making responsible choices across our operations.

What’s Next in Our Sustainability Journey?

The EcoVadis assessment is reviewed annually, meaning each result represents a point in our ongoing sustainability journey rather than a final destination.

Our 2026 assessment gives us a clear understanding of where we have made progress and where we can continue to improve. Over the coming year, we will continue to focus on strengthening our reporting. Whilst also exploring further environmental initiatives, progressing key certifications, and further embedding sustainability across our operations and supply chain.

We are proud of the improvements achieved this year and remain committed to raising our standards, increasing transparency, and creating a long-term positive impact.

Our EcoVadis rating is a reflection of the work taking place across Flexiteek every day. While there is always more to achieve, we are continuing to move forward with clear goals and a commitment to responsible growth.
