SAICA Group has been awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis for its sustainability progress.
The EcoVadis platform rates the sustainability of global supply chains in more than 75,000 companies globally.
EcoVadis measures the ESG (environmental, social and governance) credentials of a company through criteria focused on four key performance areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. In 2023, Saica has improved its previous rating, achieving a total of 68 points. The best improvements have taken place in the areas of labour and human rights and sustainable procurement, adding 10 points respectively.
Saica added that one notable improvement has been the carbon management measures put in place throughout the group. In this category, Saica has improved by two levels from ‘average’ to ‘leader’. This, the business said, can be attributed to the ‘sound management system of GEI as well as the good reporting processes’ employed.
