Losberger De Boer awarded EcoVadis Silver Medal for sustainability
Losberger De Boer has been awarded a Silver Medal by EcoVadis, for the steps we have taken to reduce our ecological footprint. The award firmly underlines our commitment to protecting the environment as well as to fair trade and decent working conditions for people across the globe.
EcoVadis is an independent, international platform that evaluates companies based on four areas of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies: environmental impact, working conditions, fair trade practices and sustainable purchasing policy.
EcoVadis carried out a baseline measurement in the autumn of 2021 at our request; and, as a result granted Losberger De Boer the Silver Medal in recognition of its good scores for its environmental process, as well as its labour and human rights policies. This means that our performance falls, within our industries, top 25% of the world. Within our industry, of building temporary space solutions, we are to the best of our knowledge the only company to have received the EcoVadis Silver Medal.
During the past two decades, we have taken numerous successful steps to continuously reduce our ecological footprint, which has resulted, among other things, being ISO 14001 certified in 2010. We have developed more sustainable parts and products, have optimized our transport and invested across our business, in a more sustainable operation.
The EcoVadis award comes along with invaluable advice, on how to further improve the way we work within all four areas of CSR, which we find both helpful and valuable.
Since receiving our first rating, all departments within the LDB Group have set more ambitious, clear goals. We have placed more emphasis on plans to improve our performance in the field of sustainability. These changes are set to be implemented in Q1 of 2022, when we will provide updates on major CSR related improvements; and, publish an extensive CSR Yearly Report starting in January 2022. Our Rental Projects & Turnkey Solutions division is the first division of the Losberger De Boer Group that was assessed by EcoVadis. With our other divisions joining the program.
Mical de Boer MD Losberger De Boer UK, says: "In addition to the EcoVadis Award, l am pleased to mention that this journey began sometime ago, with an award from the EU Business School, as a recognized leader in sustainability working practices and now look forward to working towards an even better CSR rating in the future."
