Arcadis now scores in top 1% in overall sustainability
performance of EcoVadis rated companies globally
20 July, 2022 – Arcadis has scored a ‘platinum medal’ in
the most recent review by EcoVadis; an independent sustainability

management systems.
The new assessment is eight points higher than in 2021,
improving Arcadis’ rating from gold to platinum. This puts Arcadis
in the top 1% of companies not only in its industry (classified as
Architectural and Engineering Activities, Technical Testing and
Analysis; and which alone includes 2,800 companies), but also the
top 1% of companies, across 200 industries, that are assessed
worldwide.

Mary Ann Hopkins, Chief Growth Officer at Arcadis,
commented:
“We are pleased that EcoVadis recognizes Arcadis’ commitment to
contribute to a sustainable world. Their
independently-verified rating is an important tool for our clients
to understand our sustainability ambitions and outcomes. In a
world where supply chain sustainability and net-zero goals are
increasingly important, this platinum rating demonstrates we are up
for the challenge of providing sustainable solutions to clients
across the world.”
Alexis Haass, Chief Sustainability Officer at Arcadis,
added:
“Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing us
today. At Arcadis, we recognize that we have a responsibility not
only to eliminate carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in our
operations, but also to continue building on our strong foundations
and project expertise to provide integrated sustainability services
and solutions at scale for our clients. The EcoVadis platinum
rating is a real testament to how we have continued to push forward
the boundaries ofsustainability to create positive impacts on the
environment and our
society.”
In its assessment, EcoVadis looks at integration of sustainability
and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance. The 2022
result recognizes Arcadis’ alignment with the Science-Based Targets
initiative (SBTi) and commitment to reach net-zero across its
global operations by 2035; as well as Arcadis’ renewed focus on
sustainable procurement in the supply chain. A refreshed Human
Rights and Labor Policy, providing concrete actions to respect
internationally recognized human rights when doing business, also
had a positive impact on the assessment.
