Leading global channel services provider, Agilitas IT Solutions, has today announced it has been awarded the prestigious Silver medal from EcoVadis in recognition of its ongoing efforts to embed sustainability into the organisation’s core values. Superseding its Bronze medal achieved in 2021, Agilitas is now listed in the top 25% of the 100,000-plus companies assessed.
As the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, EcoVadis is relied on by global supply chains, financial institutions, and public organisations to monitor and improve the sustainability performance of their businesses and partners. EcoVadis evaluates businesses across 21 indicators, divided into four main categories: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Business Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
EcoVadis has recognised Agilitas’ latest sustainability achievements, with the company’s Environmental score increasing from 60 to 90 out of a possible 100. This is a testament to Agilitas’ dedication to strengthening its commitment to sustainability and extending the lifespan of its client’s IT infrastructure through refurbishment and reuse programmes.
In addition to establishing its Green Team, Agilitas has also committed to Science Based Targets, which involves setting carbon reduction goals across all 3 scopes and using these platforms to show transparency to its customers, which in turn helps customers to track their own Scope 3 supply chain emissions.
To help drive sustainability awareness among partners and the broader Technology Channel, this latest recognition follows the launch of Agilitas’ sustainability pledge and eVentory Charter. The company has built this pledge around three core pillars – Planet, People and Partners – that drive Agilitas to build a more sustainable culture and support partners with solutions and services that reduce environmental impact. The e-Ventory Charter outlines the elements of the company’s services, operational and internal initiatives that contribute to its mission and support a circular economy.
Deborah Johnson, Head of ESG at Agilitas commented, “Receiving the Silver status in our EcoVadis assessment is an exceptional recognition of our commitment to prioritising sustainability and implementing practices that contribute towards a better future. This score gives our team even more motivation to further increase our ESG efforts and move forward with our roadmap to have a carbon-positive workforce by 2031 and be 100% carbon neutral before the UK Government’s target.”
