Sidel receives Gold Medal from EcoVadis

Sidel’s French production site in Octeville has been awarded the Gold Medal by sustainability assessors EcoVadis. This follows a comprehensive review of its supply chain strategy at both the local and corporate-group levels.

EcoVadis also ranked Sidel among the top five percent of reporting companies in 2024, highlighting the company’s commitment to its sustainability practices and transparency.

‘We’re thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Gold Medal for our EcoVadis reporting,’ commented Francesca Bellucci, vice president of strategy and sustainability at Sidel. ‘This is a remarkable achievement that reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability, ethics, and responsible business practices.’

Sidel partnered with EcoVadis in 2017 to assess and improve its environmental, social, and ethical performance as part of its new supply chain strategy.

With over 17 years of expertise, EcoVadis has assessed sustainability efforts for more than 125,000 companies, evaluating them across four key categories: environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement practices.

Sidel's latest achievement follows a comprehensive review involving more than 300 questions covering critical areas such as environmental impact, labor rights, health and safety, ethics and responsible procurement.

‘The evaluation was both rigorous and extensive, demanding significant collaboration and commitment from our teams,’ said Armelle Biton, HSE business partner at Sidel. ‘It encompassed the Sidel Octeville site and corporate-level assessments, adding complexity to the process and making the final recognition all the more rewarding.’

‘We are confident that this success will inspire us to reach even greater heights in our sustainability journey,’ concluded Bellucci.
