We were pleased with our initial score, but more importantly, the system gives us the guidance and knowledge on how and where we can improve.”

Our March 2026 Assessment Results

Our assessment covered four key categories, each providing insight into different aspects of our business practices.

Environment - 66/100

This category assesses environmental management practices within the scope of the EcoVadis assessment. Our result provides a reference point for reviewing our existing processes and identifying areas for further development.

Labour and Human Rights - 70/100

This was our highest-scoring category. It covers areas relating to workplace practices, employee wellbeing, health and safety, and labour and human rights. The results provide an opportunity to review the practices and systems in place across these areas.

Procurement - 58/100

Our procurement practices are an important part of how we manage supplier relationships and purchasing processes. This assessment highlights an opportunity to review our existing approach and identify areas where further development may be beneficial.

Ethics - 53/100

Ethics covers business conduct and the processes organisations have in place to support responsible decision-making. Our result provides a benchmark for reviewing our current practices and identifying opportunities to strengthen our approach.

Why Does The Rating Matter? 

The EcoVadis assessment gives Europa a structured way to evaluate its performance across several important areas of business management.

The results can help us identify areas where our existing practices are performing well and where further work may be needed. They also provide relevant information for customers and other stakeholders who want to understand how businesses assess and manage their practices.

Our approach to business management also includes established systems aligned with ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management and ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety.

Each of these standards has a distinct purpose, and our EcoVadis result should be understood within the specific scope of its own assessment.

Looking Ahead

Achieving a Bronze Rating is an important milestone, but it is also an opportunity to identify our next steps.

We will continue to review our assessment results and consider opportunities to develop our practices across the following areas:

  • Environmental management: Reviewing existing processes and identifying areas for further development.
  • Procurement: Continuing to review supplier relationships and purchasing processes.
  • Ethics and governance: Maintaining clear business practices and appropriate decision-making processes.
  • Employee wellbeing: Supporting our people and maintaining a safe working environment.
  • Continual improvement: Using assessment findings to inform future priorities across the business.

By reviewing our performance and working collaboratively across teams, we can continue to develop our business practices in line with our objectives.
