EcoVadis, the world’s leading organization evaluating companies’ sustainability, has once again awarded Posti its highest platinum rating. This recognition places Posti among the top 1% of companies worldwide, a distinction it has earned for the fourth consecutive year.
Posti’s score improved from last year, rising to 82 out of 100, compared to 80 in the previous assessment. Notably, Posti’s environmental sustainability was rated as “outstanding,” achieving a score of 90/100.
Each year, EcoVadis evaluates approximately 130,000 companies globally. Only 1% of these, equating to just over a thousand companies, achieve the platinum level.
“Our more holistic sustainability program, updated last spring, integrates sustainable growth and ambitious climate work with a caring and inclusive people strategy and a positive impact on society,” says Anna Storm, Posti’s VP of Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations.
“EcoVadis’ comprehensive assessment of corporate sustainability thoroughly covers all aspects of our sustainability program, making it an effective tool for objectively monitoring our progress.”
The EcoVadis assessment covers four key areas: environmental sustainability, ethical practices, labor practices and human rights, and sustainable supply chains. The evaluation is based on in-depth company reports, media information, and public sources. Achieving the platinum rating requires sufficiently high scores across all these categories.
The assessment criteria are based on international corporate responsibility standards, including the GRI, UN Global Compact, ILO principles, and the ISO 26000 standard. The evaluation process is overseen by an International Scientific Committee.
“Achieving the platinum level for the fourth time is not only the result of the hard work of all Posti employees but also a strong message to our customers and stakeholders that sustainability is a key part of our business. As companies continue to enhance their sustainability efforts, the bar keeps rising – which means staying in the top 1% demands even more from us,” says Storm.
