I am proud to share that We Are Acuity has been awarded an EcoVadis Silver Medal for 2026.
Our latest EcoVadis scorecard has just been published and we have moved from 68/100 to 73/100, a five point improvement year on year, which is a 7.4% increase. That puts us in the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the past 12 months.
For anyone less familiar with it, EcoVadis is a leading global sustainability ratings provider, assessing companies across key areas like environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. So this is an external, independent view of how we are doing, not just our own opinion.
What I am most pleased about is that EcoVadis recognised real progress in the work behind the score, not just the number itself. This includes an “advanced” approach to Labour and Human Rights, and an improved overall score thanks to additional policies and evidence of how we are putting them into practice.
This builds on the sustainability work we have been steadily driving since 2022.
From the outset we have tried to treat sustainability as a long term commitment rather than a badge or a campaign theme. That means putting in the work to measure, plan and improve.
So far that has included:
– Measuring and reporting our emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3
– Setting a clear goal of reaching Net Zero by 2030
– Verifying our carbon reduction progress through Wenta Action Zero
– Taking a wider view of sustainability that includes wellbeing, community impact and responsible ways of working, not only carbon
The EcoVadis Silver Medal is a really useful checkpoint on that journey. It shows us where we have made meaningful progress and where we still need to do more.
We will take a moment to celebrate as a team, then keep pushing forward. This is a journey, not a one off.
More and more of the brands we work with have ESG due diligence firmly on the agenda. They are rightly looking for partners who can evidence their sustainability performance properly, with data, policies and independent verification, not just promises.
For us, that is one of the most practical benefits of working with EcoVadis. It provides a clear, credible way for clients to understand where we stand and how seriously we take these responsibilities.
If ESG due diligence is on your agenda this year and you need marketing partners who can demonstrate their sustainability performance, I am very happy to share our scorecard and talk about what we have learned along the way.
Finally, a few thank yous.
A huge thank you to Michael Martin for all his support in helping us progress at pace, and to Watford Borough Council and their Watford Business Pledge for the continued inspiration and encouragement to do better.
