Carlson Wagonlit Travel has been rated gold for the second consecutive year by independent agency EcoVadis for its responsible business programme.
The TMC's corporate social responsibility practices have been recognised in the top 1 per cent of all companies rated, and in its sector top 1 per cent for fair business practices/ethics and compliance.
“Our second, successive, annual Gold rating for global CSR is testament to both us, and our customers, of the benefits of living the CWT values,” said Catherine Maguire-Vielle, CWT’s chief human resources officer. “Responsible business is a core element of all of our customer relationships, and EcoVadis’ third-party Gold certification publicly underlines our commitment to work to the very highest standards of ethics and conduct in all that we do.”
Francoise Grumberg, CWT’s vice-president, global responsible business, added: “This rating recognises the fact that CWT’s approach to responsible business focuses on all of the CSR issues that are most material for the business. The Gold rating also recognises the teamwork and commitment from across all areas of our business to further embed CSR deep into our company culture.”
EcoVadis uses a methodology that rates companies according to 21 CSR criteria, grouped under four themes: environment, labor, fair business practices and sustainable procurement. CWT’s performance in each of these four themes was evaluated looking at policies, actions and results.
