EcoVadis: a global CSR and sustainability assessment

What is the EcoVadis sustainability rating?

EcoVadis is a globally recognised platform that evaluates the Corporate Social Responsibility performance of companies through an evidence-based and structured assessment methodology. It is widely used by international organisations to assess and monitor sustainability practices across global value chains.
The evaluation is based on company documentation, policies, actions and reporting, ensuring a transparent and comparable assessment of CSR maturity.

Four pillars of evaluation

The EcoVadis assessment covers four key areas considered essential for responsible business practices:

• Environment, including energy management, carbon emissions and resource use
• Labour & Human Rights, covering working conditions, health & safety and employee well-being
• Ethics, addressing compliance, data security and business integrity
• Sustainable Procurement, focusing on responsible sourcing and supplier engagement

This framework provides a comprehensive and balanced view of an organisation’s sustainability performance.

Continuous improvement in Corporate Social Responsibility

SHIELD Scientific remains committed to improving its practices, reinforcing its policies and addressing emerging sustainability challenges, in line with stakeholder expectations and evolving regulatory requirements.

Environmental responsibility is a core pillar of our CSR approach. SHIELD Scientific has set a long‑term ambition to reach Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2040.
The company is currently developing its strategy and environmental roadmap. This work will define priorities for energy management, carbon reduction and responsible resource use.

Responsible and sustainable procurement practices

Beyond internal operations, SHIELD Scientific actively works to embed responsible practices throughout its value chain. This includes:

• Integrating sustainability criteria into purchasing decisions
• Engaging suppliers on ethical and environmental expectations
• Promoting transparency and continuous improvement beyond our own organisation

Responsible sourcing and partnership are key to driving meaningful and lasting impact.
