ALOHA MEDICINALS’ ECOVADIS RATING
EcoVadis was formed in 2007 and has provided assessments on over 90,000 companies since then. We applaud them for their dedication to envisioning a global marketplace that values sustainability with every business decision, from improving people’s lives and the planet we depend on, to improving the economy substantially.
Over the past several months, we have enjoyed working closely with EcoVadis to confirm that our sustainability efforts are effective. We’ve also received an evidence-based assessment of our green practices which allows us to continue improving our methods and continue working to make our practices more sustainable.
When EcoVadis makes an assessment, they provide a scorecard of results to the company. On a rating scale between 0 and 100, the highest a business can achieve is 100. The score provides specific insight and suggestions on the company’s strengths and weaknesses. Then, a corrective action plan is developed to improve upon the rating.
