Vital Energi wins silver in sustainability

Sustainability assessor EcoVadis has awarded energy solutions provider Vital Energi a silver medal for their environmental performance and ethical conduct.

The silver sustainability rating places Vital Energi in the top 15% of companies rated in the past year.

Vital Energi aims to go net zero by 2035.

They have appointed carbon management experts, Greenly, to keep a detailed account of their carbon emissions.

They are also investing in on-site renewables and electric vehicles, enhancing energy efficiency in operations and training and upskilling staff and supply chain.

Anne Johnstone, Vital Energi’s Head of ESG, said: 'Achieving a Silver rating in our first ever EcoVadis assessment is an impressive achievement and we weren’t far off meeting the threshold for Gold.

'We will use our Action Plan to hone in on key improvement areas and look to get that Gold rating next year. Ultimately our aim is to be in the top 1% of companies rated by EcoVadis.'

EcoVadis is the world’s largest provider of business sustainability ratings, having created a global network of over 130,000 rated companies.
