SLS achieves EcoVadis Gold, demonstrating commitment to sustainability excellence

SLS is proud to announce the achievement of the EcoVadis Gold rating, marking a significant improvement from last year’s Bronze accreditation. This places the company in the top 5% of organisations assessed by EcoVadis globally, specifically within the 96th percentile. This recognition underscores SLS’s commitment to embedding more sustainable practices across its operations. The company earned scores of 70% or higher in all four key assessment areas-Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, with standout performances in the Environment and Sustainable Procurement categories.

The journey to EcoVadis Gold has been driven by SLS’s steadfast commitment to sustainability and accountability over recent years. With clear, quantitative objectives focused on reducing resource consumption and a comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan covering all scopes, SLS has embedded sustainability into every aspect of its business strategy. The company’s policies reflect a strong dedication to responsible business practices, emphasising not only the intent to minimise environmental impact but also actionable measures that deliver tangible progress year after year.

Transparency remains a cornerstone of SLS’s approach. The company has published two detailed sustainability reports, providing open access to its goals, progress, and challenges. These reports, available via the Sustainability section of SLS’s website, keep both customers and suppliers informed and engaged. You can read them here. By joining the United Nations Global Compact and aligning its efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals, SLS has further strengthened its commitment to accountability and transparency. These initiatives are not seen as procedural requirements but as crucial tools to foster education, instil sustainable values, and drive meaningful change beyond the standard business model.

The EcoVadis Gold rating serves as a testament to the strides SLS has made over the past year. From enhancing policies and implementing robust carbon reduction plans to fostering a culture of progress, this recognition validates the company’s dedication to responsible and transparent practices. It also positions SLS firmly on the path to becoming an industry leader in sustainability.
