EssentialSkillz awarded Silver Award for sustainability

Here at EssentialSkillz, we maintain a strong commitment towards sustainability and good ethical practises. We are very proud to announce that our efforts were recently recognised by the Ecovadis program, who gave us a silver award and placed us within the top 25% of companies that participated.

We undertook the program to better understand our ethical and climate impact, as well as help our clients meet their commitments and goals. Participating organisations answered a questionnaire covering four categories: the environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

Once completed, the questionnaire and supporting evidence was reviewed and assessed by an EcoVadis expert. The methodology used by EcoVadis “is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and the ISO 26000”.

We are very proud of this achievement and look to improve our score in the future as we do our part to mitigate our impact on the environment.
