Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

BCD Travel achieves once again top sustainability rating

 

For the second year, BCD Travel has earned the special distinction of Platinum from EcoVadis, for the highest-performing companies in an independent sustainability assessment. EcoVadis is the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. With this Platinum rating, BCD maintains its position in the top 1% of the currently 75,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis.

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.

EcoVadis assessments consider four categories: environment, labor standards and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The EcoVadis assessment platform helped BCD prioritize its sustainability goals and show improvement year over year, resulting in an annual score increase. The company’s score increased by 27% since receiving its first Gold rating in 2016.

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. 

The top rating from EcoVadis adds to a string of awards and recognitions for BCD for its sustainability achievements in recent years:
