Brightbox Achieves EcoVadis Gold Certification

Brightbox has been awarded Gold certification by EcoVadis, placing us among the top-rated companies worldwide for sustainability performance. It's a milestone we're proud of and says as much about how we operate as it does about the standards we meet.  

EcoVadis is the global benchmark for assessing sustainability across supply chains. Trusted by more than 1,500 global organisations and used to evaluate millions of suppliers worldwide, it provides the independent insights businesses rely on to inform procurement decisions and manage supplier risk.

Achieving a Gold rating means Brightbox has been independently assessed and recognised among the highest-performing companies across key environmental, social and ethical criteria. It is a standard widely trusted by the market and increasingly expected by clients, partners and procurement teams alike.

Our strongest performance was in the Labour and Human Rights category. This is an area we're especially proud of, because it speaks directly to how people are treated across our business, and by extension, our clients. Having the right policies in place isn't enough on its own and we hold ourselves accountable for proving they operate in practice.  

For our clients, this means greater confidence in how we operate. It means clear visibility of the standards we set, the KPIs we track and the governance that underpins our delivery. It means rigorous auditing across our teams to ensure sustainability, ethical practice and responsible business conduct are embedded throughout Brightbox.

This is particularly important because of the role we play for our clients. Brightbox exists to close the gap between business ambition and workforce execution, helping organisations move at the pace their markets demand without sacrificing quality, control or governance.

As leaders adopt a Liquid Workforce, our clients place significant trust in us. They trust that the people and teams we deploy are sourced responsibly, treated fairly and supported by robust governance. The certification is a direct reflection of that commitment, evidence that while we help organisations move faster, we never allow pace to outstrip principle.

EcoVadis Gold provides independent assurance that Brightbox operates with integrity and that our supply chain is managed responsibly. Working in partnership with your teams through augmentation, it strengthens our position in tenders and procurement processes, where sustainability performance is increasingly a key differentiator, while reinforcing the trust we have built with existing clients and partners.

"Achieving EcoVadis Gold certification is a proud moment for Brightbox because it validates the values and standards that underpin everything we do. As organisations face growing expectations around sustainability, governance and ethical business practices, our clients need partners they can trust. I'm particularly proud that our strongest performance was in Labour & Human Rights. We continue to help organisations embrace more agile ways of working and lead the shift towards a Liquid Workforce and are proving that speed, flexibility and responsibility can go hand in hand." – Stuart Houghton, CEO at Brightbox

Most importantly, this achievement is not an endpoint. It raises the bar for what we expect of ourselves and reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement.

We're proud of the result, and of the people across Brightbox whose dedication, accountability and high standards made it possible.
