BCD Travel has achieved a platinum rating for its sustainability
efforts for the second year running.
The travel management company has achieved the grading
from EcoVadis, which assesses 75,000 companies annually on their environmental
commitments, labour standards and human rights, ethics, and sustainable
procurement.
Only one per cent of those assessed achieve platinum
status.
“Our second platinum rating is a distinction that not only confirms the importance
we place on sustainability within our own operations, but ensures we are the
supplier of choice for companies that also place a high value on working with
sustainable partners,” said Sharon Dirks, director of sustainability at BCD.
“Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in
early 2020, the travel industry continues to face unprecedented challenges.
Despite this unparalleled disruption, we moved forward on projects, initiatives
and solutions that represent our firm commitment to sustainability,” said Dirks.
