Tyre manufacturer Nokian Tyres has been awarded a platinum medal in the EcoVadis corporate sustainability assessment for the second consecutive year.
The rating highlights the company’s sustainability efforts, placing it in the top one per cent of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the past year.
Nokian Tyres earned 84 points in the assessment, which is five more than last year, with Nokian Tyres’ top-performing assessment areas being Environment and Sustainable Procurement, both achieving a score of 90 out of 100.
“We work to drive sustainability not just in Nokian Tyres’ own operations but also in our supply chain, which shows in the improved score in the area Sustainable Procurement,” Nokian Tyres quality and sustainability vice president Teppo Huovila says.
“Requiring a commitment to ethical business and sustainability from suppliers promotes both environmental and social responsibility in the supply chain, which in turn creates value for the environment and communities, and eventually also for our customers.”
EcoVadis is one of the world’s largest and most trusted providers of corporate sustainability ratings, having assessed over 130,000 companies globally. The assessment of companies’ sustainability performance is based on several criteria across four core areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
The rating demonstrates Nokian Tyres’ commitment to sustainability. In addition to the Platinum Medal awarded by EcoVadis, Nokian Tyres has achieved, for example, several inclusions in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and four consecutive A- scores in the CDP Climate Change report.
