We are pleased to announce that EcoVadis, one of the world's largest sustainability ratings organizations, has reviewed Diversey's approach to sustainability and awarded us the Silver Medal for our performance. EcoVadis has rated over 75,000 organizations on their performance across environment, ethics, human rights, and procurement.
Diversey's rating places us at the 74th percentile for companies in our sector. We share the details of our performance with 85 customers, who are able to identify key issues of strengths and weaknesses to understand their supply chain. The Ecovadis logo can be used to communicate our results to customers and stakeholders.
Customers, in some cases, request Diversey's participation in the EcoVadis platform to collect in-depth information on their suppliers to drive sustainability and mitigate risk in their supply chain. Increasingly, Diversey's customers see their purchasing power as a ?force for good? to push suppliers to improve environmental and social performance.
Diversey improved our EcoVadis score from 46 to 57 this year, a testament to the work being done around the company to improve our environmental footprint, adhere to the Diversey Code of Conduct, and create sustainability value for our customers. Sustainability is a journey, and we hope next year Diversey can achieve the ?Gold Level? in Ecovadis.
