Carlson Wagonlit Travel has been rated among the top 1 per cent of all companies for its responsible business practices.
The travel management company was awarded the gold CSR rating from environmental and social performance rating agency Ecovadis.
“This is a tremendous honor to receive in recognition of our commitment to CSR,” said Kurt Ekert, president and CEO of Carlson Wagonlit Travel. “Responsible business is a fundamental element of our overall business practice and something we live and breathe, everyday. This is a direct result of CWT’s culture and core values: integrity, caring, leadership and passion. In whatever decision we make, we consider the impact on the environment in which we operate.”
Ecovadis, who evaluates over 25,000 suppliers every year, 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.
