The evaluation body EcoVadis has confirmed the Group’s business commitments and performance in the field of sustainable development
The Goody’s-Everest Group has been awarded the prestigious “Silver Recognition Level” by EcoVadis, one of the world’s largest and most reliable sustainability performance evaluators. This accolade places the Group among the top 25% of companies assessed globally, showcasing its dedication to sustainable practices and corporate responsibility.
EcoVadis evaluates companies’ integration of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by examining their policies, practices, and outcomes across 21 sustainability criteria grouped into four pillars: Environment, Labor Practices & Human Rights, Business Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Its assessment is based on global standards such as the United Nations Global Compact Principles, International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards), and ISO 26000, while also providing a roadmap for continuous improvement.
Andreas Tsoukalas, CEO of Goody’s-Everest Group, stated: “This is a significant milestone achieved just a year after finalizing our sustainability strategy. It demonstrates that ESG principles have long been embedded in our organizational culture, even before this conversation gained momentum. Being ranked in the top 7% of our industry globally is both an honor and a testament to the collective effort and value we create for all stakeholders. The Goody’s-Everest Group is committed to the UN Global Compact’s 10 Principles and contributes to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through concrete actions and initiatives. We pledge to continue this journey of evolution with dedication, aiming for ongoing improvement in our sustainability performance.”
