Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainable European transport

Sustainability is central to our vision, mission, and values. To be sustainable, we must be efficient in the way we operate, promote a culture of safety, and protect the environment wherever possible by working to reduce the impacts of our European transport activities. Our customers demand this, and Efret plays a critical role in the logistics supply chains of some of the world’s leading companies, depending on us to deliver their products to market in an efficient and sustainable manner.

Efret has been awarded the EcoVadis Silver rating for its commitment to sustainable business practices.

The EcoVadis Silver rating places Efret in the top 15% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis, and demonstrates the company’s strong commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The rating also acknowledges Efret’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact, promote ethical practices, and contribute to the communities in which it operates. Efret’s sustainability endeavours include initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, minimise waste, and promote sustainable supply chain practices. As a company we have also implemented a range of social and ethical policies.

What is the EcoVadis rating?

Ecovadis is a global organisation that assesses and rates companies on their sustainability performance based on a range of criteria including environmental, social, and ethical practices.

The EcoVadis rating system evaluates companies on a range of sustainability criteria, including environmental management, labour and human rights practices, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The ratings are based on a thorough assessment of a company’s policies, procedures, and performance data, as well as external stakeholder feedback.

“I’m delighted that Efret have been awarded a Silver rating from EcoVadis, putting the organisation in the top 15% of all companies assessed. The accolade benefits customers by demonstrating an improvement in sustainability practises and transparency across environmental, social and ethical performance. We are committed to the principals of good corporate governance and will continue partnering with EcoVardis to progress further.”
