Our constant commitment to the environment, worker and human rights, and ethics has led us to seek a sustainability certification in 2022 from the prestigious international eco-certification agency EcoVadis.
The SILVER rating testifies to our company’s high level of commitment to advancing sustainable operating practices in line with the core business value of Omtra SRL Società Benefit.
First of all, what is Ecovadis?
Ecovadis is an international ratings platform that allows companies to evaluate their environmental and social performance, as well as those of their suppliers. This is measured by 21 indicators divided into four main themes: environment, working practices, fair business practices and sustainable procurement.
Why did Omtra participate in this evaluation?
Our business focuses on certified destruction, archiving, data deletion (also known as "wiping") for PC reuse and recycle, and ESG and information governance consulting. We started the certification process to gauge and demonstrate our efforts to be as sustainabile as possible and to communicate about our progress to our external stakeholders. EcoVadis is a good opportunity for us to demonstrate that we are responsible in choosing our partners, ensuring the ESG compliance of our activities and working for responsible and sustainable (in all senses of the word, including financially) business growth.
What are the advantages when receiving such an assessment?
We believe that companies' performance in sustainability will become increasingly important when it comes to selecting business partners. These evaluations serve as a marker of our business' progress! Omtra is also ISO 9001 certified and in the process of obtaining B Corp certification. Therefore, EcoVadis' silver rating is further evidence of Omtra’s commitment to sustainability. It shows that Omtra is a reliable partner that also wants to help its customers to become EcoVadis certified, with our international team of ESG experts always available to meet your company's goals for a sustainable future.
