Specific comments
The company is not included in any compliance-related watch lists or sanction lists.
An audit report was provided, but did not meet eligibility requirements (e.g. out of scope, outdated, questionable auditing body accreditation, formalization).
Some supporting documents were considered too outdated to be included in this assessment.
Since the last assessment, the overall score has increased thanks to the implementation of additional measures.
You are receiving this score/medal based on the disclosed information and news resources available to EcoVadis at the time of assessment. Should any information or circumstances change materially during the period of the scorecard/medal validity, EcoVadis reserves the right to place the business’ scorecard/medal on hold and, if considered appropriate, to re-assess and possibly issue a revised scorecard/medal.
