Case Study: 115-year old marketing group received EcoVadis Gold
A rewarding milestone with a truly inspiring client!
A US-based marketing services company, operating for over 115 years, recently achieved an EcoVadis Gold Medal in their very first assessment — placing them among the top 5% globally.
What makes this story special is not just the result, but the starting point.
The company was already a leader in sustainable business practices within its industry. The CEO strongly believed in environmental and social responsibility. However, like many companies, they had never formally translated this into:
• Structured ESG documentation
• A carbon footprint analysis aligned with international standards
• A sustainability report ready for external stakeholders
• A clear response to the EcoVadis methodology
That’s where we stepped in.
👉 We worked closely with the CEO in a highly efficient and time-conscious way, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations.
Together, we:
✔️ Calculated their corporate carbon footprint in line with the GHG Protocol standards
✔️ Developed a comprehensive sustainability report for external use
✔️ Built an internal ESG management review framework
✔️ Conducted a supply chain ESG assessment
✔️ Structured and documented their sustainability practices for EcoVadis
🏆 The result: EcoVadis Gold Medal – at first attempt
This outcome reinforces an important lesson:
If your company has been operating with genuine social and environmental responsibility, the challenge is not to “create” sustainability — but to structure, measure, and communicate it effectively.
And when done right, it gets recognized.
🚀 What’s next?
We’ve already started the next phase: preparing their B Corp certification under the new B Lab standards (v2.2).
