SAKATA INX CORPORATION (Representative Director, President & CEO: Yoshiaki Ueno) announces that SAKATA INX Group has received a bronze medal in the sustainability assessment conducted by EcoVadis.
* The EcoVadis bronze medal is awarded to the top 35% according to their original scoring system (on a scale of 0-100)
EcoVadis (headquartered in Paris, France) conducts sustainability assessments of more than 150,000 companies in over 250 industries and over 185 countries through their global cloud-based platform. These sustainability assessments involve international experts who assign scores on a scale of 0-100 to measure companies' quality of sustainability on the four themes of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable material procurement, based on global sustainability standards such as the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and ISO 26000.
We have undergone two previous EcoVadis assessments and have continued to advance our sustainability initiatives across four key themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. We believe that our continuous efforts to elevate the level of our sustainability initiatives have contributed to the rating we received this time. Until now, our individual sites in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, the United States and Vietnam have been recognized with awards.We consider this time’s assessment to be highly significant because it reflects the performance of the entire SAKATA INX Group, which operates in more than 20 countries and regions worldwide.
The SAKATA INX Group is committed to strengthening its ESG and sustainability initiatives with a strong focus on the global environment and local communities. By continuing to act as a fair and trustworthy company in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement for all our stakeholders, we will further contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
