Notably, Bilfinger also made significant progress in Sustainable Procurement, reflecting the successful integration of sustainability standards throughout its supply chain.
EcoVadis bases its comprehensive assessment on the detailed collection, analysis and validation of sustainability data across four key categories: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. The evaluation adheres to internationally recognized standards including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the UN Global Compact and the ISO 26000 standard.
