News Brief
Against the backdrop of continuous progress towards global "dual carbon" goals and the increasing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as a core competency, REACH24H has recently achieved another success—successfully assisting a chemical company in overcoming bottlenecks in its sustainability management to win an EcoVadis Silver Medal!
For the company, achieving the Silver Medal signifies that its overall performance across the four dimensions of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement has ranked it among the top 9% of all companies rated in the EcoVadis database over the past 12 months. This represents a leap forward in its international market competitiveness and brand credibility.
For REACH24H, this case further solidifies our professional standing in the field of sustainability services and validates the systematic and effective nature of our service solutions.
The Company's Leader: This is a Milestone, and Even More, a New Starting Point
The company's leader stated, "The EcoVadis Silver rating is an important milestone on our path to sustainability. Currently, more and more overseas clients view the EcoVadis rating as a key indicator for partnership, and this Silver Medal has undoubtedly won us stronger negotiating power and trust capital.
A special thanks to the REACH24H team for their full-process support: from the initial system diagnosis and goal decomposition, to the mid-term document organization (sustainability policies, performance data, etc.), and finally to the later-stage assessment response. REACH24H's professional guidance helped us avoid many detours, ultimately allowing us to successfully meet the standard. We will take this Silver Medal as a starting point and strive for a higher rating in the future!"
How Should Companies Respond to the EcoVadis Assessment?
In the EcoVadis assessment process, REACH24H abandons the passive "last-minute form-filling" model and focuses on a full-process systematic control, integrating ESG management logic throughout the assessment. Combined with practical experience, this forms a highly effective and implementable solution:
Before the Assessment: Anchor the Core, Solidify the Foundation
Strategy Alignment: Decompose the core standards of the four dimensions—Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Formulate a clear and implementable ESG strategy tailored to the company's business characteristics, while simultaneously clarifying the responsibilities of each department to ensure the strategy is implemented from the planning level to the execution level.
Evidence Integration: Systematically integrate existing policy documents and practical evidence from the past 1-2 years to ensure the completeness of the documentation system and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent assessment.
During the Assessment: Precise Reporting, Control the Details
Logical Responses: Organize response content following the "Policy-Action-Result" logic to ensure every answer is supported and persuasive, avoiding vague statements.
High-Value Document Screening: The platform allows only 55 documents to be uploaded at one time. It is necessary to prioritize high-value materials, proactively discard redundant content, and standardize document labels and formats to ensure key information is clear and identifiable, thus reducing the risk of unnecessary point loss from the details.
After the Assessment: Review and Optimize, Continue to Improve
Pinpoint Issues: After the scores are released, REACH24H will precisely identify the dimensions with point loss and the core issues, helping the company to clearly understand the weak links in its ESG management.
Formulate Improvement Plan: REACH24H will develop a targeted optimization plan for the company, addressing shortcomings by supplementing management actions and improving the evidence reserve.
In Closing
To help companies navigate the ESG wave steadily and far, REACH24H will closely follow the latest developments in EcoVadis assessment standards in the future, ensuring that companies remain competitive in every assessment and continuously advance their ESG management to new heights.
REACH24H will also continue to deepen its expertise in the field of sustainability, focusing on providing high-quality global compliance services and customized sustainability solutions, empowering more companies to achieve their sustainability goals, and jointly building a green, responsible, and resilient business ecosystem.
