Lucart, the Italian multinational group known for the Tenderly, Tutto Pannocarta, Grazie EcoNatural and Lucart Professional brands, was awarded “Platinum” rating by the independent agency EcoVadis for the third year running, with a score of 85/100 (up from 2023).
This award places the company at the top of the list of companies assessed by EcoVadis over the past 12 months. “Platinum” rating is the highest level for corporate social responsibility and only 1%, out of more than 130,0000 companies analysed worldwide in over 220 different industries, can boast such a result.
The prestigious rating examines a number of sustainability-related aspects, grouped into four themes: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Lucart achieved a score of excellence in all examined areas, confirming its performance on the environment theme with the top score of 100/100. Committing to improving performance even further, the company pursued important sustainability-related actions during the year, including joining the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and aligning with the Code of Conduct of the AMFORI Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI).
“Ours is a history of sustainability and the many awards we have received over the years are ample proof of this. Our commitment is constantly renewed because we are aware of how important it is to focus on the well-being of the community for all ESG-related matters”, commented Massimo Pasquini, CEO of Lucart. “Receiving this award for the third time in a row confirms that we are on the right track and encourages us to continue our commitment to achieve the highest standards of transparency in the environmental, social and governance fields.”
The assessments of the EcoVadis rating are based on international sustainability standards, like the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the ISO 26000 standard and the CERES (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economy) principles.
