Scott Bader is proud to say it has been awarded a Gold sustainability rating by EcoVadis, ranking it in the top 4% of all companies evaluated globally.

Previously awarded Silver, Scott Bader’s sustainability rating has increased to Gold thanks to the implementation of additional measures to report on environmental management, the introduction of an annual Sustainability Report, the companies commitment to implementing green energy at its sites and its commitment to reducing emissions by 60% by 2025 and to be completely carbon neutral by 2028.

Last year, Scott Bader also offset its scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2020 in partnership with the World Land Trust. It has committed to doing this every year until it is carbon neutral.

Sustainable and resilient supply chains are critically important to our customers and we are pleased to have been awarded a Gold EcoVadis rating as we work to deliver our 2036 vision.
