Achieving an Ecovadis rating is a significant milestone to demonstrate sustainable work practices and confirm the public image towards clients and suppliers with a profound evaluation of sustainability endeavors. SPS is very proud to announce having achieved the Ecovadis Bronze medal and a ranking in the 84th percentile at the first attempt.

The achieved Bronze medal and the placement in the 84th percentile signifies a milestone on SPS’ sustainability journey and esteems the tremendous efforts that SPS has put into sustainability, highlighting the outstanding scores for SPS’ actions and global coverage in the “Ethics” category. The Ethics category illuminates the adherence to ethical principles in business operations involving the management of ethical issues and risks, promotion of integrity, and upholding high standards of conduct.
