Customers

Since its launch in 2007 more that 25 leading Companies have selected Ecovadis SP™ to manage sustainability risks in their supply chain and improve the performance of their suppliers, in more than 80 countries.

Some of those companies had already set up a structured Sustainable Procurement program several years ago, but realized that a better solution was required in order to deploy sustainability indicators on thousands of their suppliers. Other were at the beginning of their Sustainable Procurement initiative and identified EcoVadis as a way to jump start their program, and quickly access simple and reliable indicators on their suppliers. All are sharing our vision, that Sustainability is a key part of the procurement function and a major performance driver for their organisation.

Some of the companies that have chosen EcoVadis solution are :

Alcan Packaging « As a leader in cosmetics packaging, Sustainable Development is strategic for us as for our clients. EcoVadis CSR supplier assessment solution allows us to integrate environmental and social criterias into our purchasing processes. » Laurent-David CHARBIT - Alcan Global Beauty Sector - Purchasing & Supply Chain Director

Alcatel Lucent "Integrating the EcoVadis solution into our CSR management approach is among our top priorities for 2009. This solution provides 3rd party input and analysis, presents assessment results according to internationally recognized indicators, enables improved communication of results to buyers and enables our teams to concentrate on developing improvement plans with suppliers. By the end of 2010, we aim to assess the CSR practices of all of our key and preferred suppliers, related either to direct or indirect spend, using the EcoVadis rating solution".  Alcatel - Lucent Corporate Responsibility Report 2008

Alstom « Alstom has set a responsible purchasing policy up, respecting the commitments taken toward our clients. We decided to evaluate our supply chain regarding its environmental and social preformances, according to a 5 levels ladder. In 2008, we decided to extend the EcoVadis database which is a reliable tool to measure and improve the CSR performance of our suppliers. We have been convinced by the simplicity of implementation and by the EcoVadis ability to provide specific answers regarding Alstom core businesses. » Stéphane Le Corre ALSTOM - Group Strategy Director  - 01.2009

Atos Origin « The Global Sustainable Purchasing Policy, major component of our new program Harmony, allows our buyers to adopt a complete approach of Sustainable Development. This consists in introducing environmental, social and ethical considerations in each stage of our supply chain : suppliers have now to suscribe to Atos Origin Responsible Purchasing Charter principles. » Sophie Chambon - Sustainable Project Manager - Atos Origin

AXA « I am convinced that Sustainable Development will deeply transform Purchasing professionals roles. Since 2006 Axa has initiated a structured policy, and we measure today how Sustainable Procurement can renew the Buyer-Supplier Dialogue. Since 2008, EcoVadis is helping us to deploy this initiative, providing us a reliable and independent assessment of our suppliers CSR performance" Alain Page-Lécuyer - Chief Procurement Officer

Bouygues Construction « We wished to go further in helping our suppliers and our subcontractors to make them improve their Sustainable Development performances. The EcoVadis mutualized platform appeared as the best solution to do that. » Jeanne Glorian - Group Responsible Purchasing Coordinator

Bouygues Telecom « We decided to ask EcoVadis to elaborate specific questionnaires to evaluate our suppliers performances according to our criterias.

CNP Assurances "CSR is core to CNP strategy and we have initiated a structured sustainable procurement strategy since 2003.

Lafarge seeks supply chain partners that share our goals with respect to Sustainability, and since 2008 we have initiated a dialogue with some of our key partners on this theme.  In 2009 we selected EcoVadis to assess the CSR performance of some of our suppliers throughout 12 countries. The EcoVadis solution allowed us to access to clear and actionable scorecards on our suppliers environmental, health & safety, and social performance, while ensuring a high adoption from suppliers and internal teams" Ted Zerafa - VP Purchasing North America

Umicore « Umicore sees Sustainable development as a way to manage its activities. But also as a way to recognise our past responsability.

The most important thing is that for Umicore, Sustainable development represents a strategic opportunity : 50% of our turnover is now realised thanks to Umicore environmental activities. » Thomas Leysen - CEO Umicore (L'Echo 20.10.2007)
