We’ve achieved a gold standard of sustainability
21 November 2024
Scott Logic has continued to improve its sustainability performance, as verified through an independent assessment: global consultancy EcoVadis awarded us a score of 78/100 – up from last year’s 68/100 – placing us in the top 5% of all assessed organisations and the top 1% in our industry. EcoVadis awards companies in the 95+ percentile its gold medal.
At Scott Logic, sustainability is threaded through our business strategy and manifested through our Social Mission. It’s important that we hold ourselves accountable, track our performance, and identify areas for improvement. To this end, we seek independent validation.
Since 2021, we have completed an independent, industry-tailored sustainability assessment of our organisation with EcoVadis. The assessment approach is based entirely on documentary evidence of policies, actions, results, and reporting, categorised under four themes: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Our score in each theme improved by 10 points this year. There were a few common, cross-cutting reasons for this, including independent certifications by other standards-setting bodies. In the year under review, we achieved B Corporation certification, improved our Code of Conduct, and were certified as paying the Real Living Wage.
We hold ourselves to account in how well we’re living up to our Purpose, Mission and Values. Independent assessments by organisations such as EcoVadis and B Lab are an important element of this, helping us to track progress and shape continuous improvements. We’ll factor the results of the EcoVadis assessment into our plans and priorities for the year ahead.
