Receiving a gold medal puts BM in the top 5% of the 100,000 companies rated by EcoVadis. BM has been working with EcoVadis as part of a client contract since 2016, which has also been gold-rated for the last two years.
A new expanded partnership will see BM benefit from annual sustainability assessments, action plans, access to resources, webinars and events, with the aim to drive better sustainability results and reduce its carbon output through a robust carbon measuring strategy.
Sally Grimes, quality standards manager at BM Caterers, said: “ESG is a journey of learning and change for BM: recognising the critical importance of sustainability in the way we work, going beyond what is required of us and aligning with companies who we believe can help us take the next step forward in this journey.
“EcoVadis partners with many of our clients already, is a widely recognised accreditation, and having worked with them for some time ourselves, the value they bring was clear, so we wanted to develop this relationship further and take the next step with them.”
