Fiorenzato has secured the EcoVadis Gold Medal, ranking among the top 5% of companies globally for sustainability practices. The recognition highlights its efforts in ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. EcoVadis, an independent rating agency, evaluates over 100,000 companies worldwide, assigning scores based on four themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
To earn Gold, Fiorenzato scored between 70 and 77 points in total and met critical criteria, including minimum scores of 30 in all categories, ensuring balanced sustainability practices. The Gold Medal positions Fiorenzato in the 95th to 98th percentile globally under EcoVadis’ updated 2025 standards, reflecting advanced sustainability management.
Its assessment included rigorous checks of emissions reduction, fair labor policies, anti-corruption measures, and responsible supplier engagement. The company also passed EcoVadis’ 360° Watch review, which screens for compliance risks and misconduct, confirming its eligibility. Certain industries like tobacco and weapons manufacturing are excluded from medal eligibility, but Fiorenzato met all requirements through its sector-agnostic sustainability initiatives. This achievement excludes Fiorenzato from earning lower-tier EcoVadis badges, as medals supersede badges in recognizing excellence.
EcoVadis Gold serves as an objective validation of Fiorenzato’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. The medal bolsters its reputation in supply chain sustainability, aligning with global trends favoring ethical business practices. Companies in the top 5% often gain a competitive edge in industries where stakeholders prioritize ESG performance. For Fiorenzato, this could mean stronger partnerships, investor confidence, and market differentiation.
The assessment required proof of efforts like reducing environmental impact, safeguarding human rights, and ensuring ethical procurement. Each theme—environment, labor, ethics, and sustainable sourcing—demanded targeted actions, such as lowering carbon footprints or improving worker safety standards. The company strengthened its submission with third-party certifications validating environmental management systems and ethical supply chain audits, aligning with EcoVadis’ emphasis on credible evidence.
Fiorenzato’s balanced performance across all areas underscores its holistic approach to sustainability. EcoVadis medals, unlike badges, rely on percentile rankings rather than absolute scores. Badges reward progress or short-term improvements, while Gold reflects sustained, top-tier performance.
For Fiorenzato, maintaining this status will require ongoing adherence to strict criteria, as EcoVadis reassesses companies annually. The recognition not only celebrates current achievements but also sets a benchmark for future initiatives in a world increasingly focused on corporate responsibility.
