Top Employers Institute is now an approved certifier in the EcoVadis assessment
Top Employers Institute is an approved certifier in the EcoVadis assessment, enabling Certified Top Employers to be recognised for their efforts in developing workplaces that prioritise and support environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Let’s explore what this affiliation means for Top Employers.
EcoVadis is one of the world’s leading and most
trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, assessing companies’ environmental, social, and ethical performance. EcoVadis assessments span key areas such as environmental impact, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. These sustainability ratings allow organisations of all sizes and industries to help them understand their sustainability performance.
Being an approved certifier for EcoVadis means that Top Employers Institute’s Certification Programme has met rigorous standards, highlighting our fact-based Certification process that is based on proof of practices, not opinions. This allows us to empower Top Employers in achieving high-impact sustainability goals.
When a Top Employer undergoes the EcoVadis assessment their status as a Top Employer will be accepted as a valid form for the certification indicator on the topic of labour and human rights. The Top Employers Certification will be considered if it is submitted as evidence towards a company’s ratings assessment.
This recognition from EcoVadis will open doors to new opportunities for Top Employers:
Easier sustainability validation: As a Top Employer, your Certification status is accepted as credible evidence within the EcoVadis Ratings assessment. This contributes positively to your company’s scorecard and reduces the need for duplicative documentation—making the validation process faster and more efficient.
Enhanced credibility: Recognition from both Top Employers Institute and EcoVadis strengthens an organisation’s reputation as an ethical employer and trusted business partner.
Integrated sustainability and employee experience: Top Employers Institute’s position as an approved certifier offers Top Employers a holistic approach to workplace excellence, covering employee conditions and environmental impact.
At Top Employers Institute, our globally recognised Certification Programme and our data-driven insights help Top Employers advance their talent attraction, development, engagement and retention strategies. Becoming an approved certifier with EcoVadis shows how important these people practices are to sustainability, which complements our purpose of inspiring and enabling organisations around the globe to become Top Employers using our Certification and insights as the trusted foundation.
