Case Study: Achieving EcoVadis Silver in the First Attempt

August 2025

Client Profile:
A US-based marketing services company with <50 employees, also active in retail sales of physical goods.

Challenge:
The client’s large corporate customers requested an EcoVadis certification. While management believed in responsible business practices, they lacked a structured ESG roadmap, carbon footprint report, sustainability policies, or formal processes.

Our Approach:
We developed a clear sustainability strategy, prepared their carbon footprint and sustainability reports, established ESG policies, and managed the full EcoVadis application process.

Result:
The company earned an EcoVadis Silver Medal in its very first submission, ranking in the top 10% globally. The CEO, who expected only a Bronze, was thrilled. The business is now preparing for re-assessment with a strong ambition to reach Gold.

Key Takeaway:
With the right guidance, even small companies can achieve outstanding sustainability ratings and strengthen credibility with major clients.
