At Mercateo we take sustainability – including environmental protection and social responsibility – seriously. And so do our business partners. That's why we work with the external auditing body, EcoVadis, who examine our CSR activities and provide us with feedback for improvements.
EcoVadis is a worldwide provider of sustainability ratings and intelligent, collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply chains. EcoVadis' sustainability scorecards provide detailed insights into environmental, social and ethical risks across 198 purchasing categories and 155 countries. Over 35,000 companies use EcoVadis to reduce risk, promote innovation and create trust and transparency between business partners. You can learn about their efforts on the EcoVadis website.
Buyers have long stopped buying or negotiating based on price alone. The true cost to business continuity is wrapped up in vulnerable global supply chains that extend beyond monetary value.
As a result, many companies today demand transparency beyond tier-one suppliers and aim to deliver on their sustainability and CSR efforts. The EcoVadis certification helps Mercateo customers meet their sustainable procurement requirements and offers the reassurance of their supply chain through a recognised label.
For us, trust and quality form the basis of every long-term business relationship. We place equally high demands on ourselves, our partners and suppliers.
'Managed Supply' refers to the careful selection process that we apply to the Mercateo marketplace suppliers, ensuring that our customers get the best variety of products and optimal shopping experience. We work exclusively with B2B verified and quality-assured suppliers.
