As part of our commitment to sustainability, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of our business practices through EcoVadis, a global leader in sustainability evaluations. The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four main themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

In our most recent evaluation for 2025, we received a silver medal, placing us in the top 15% of assessed companies.

Additionally, Mercodia is dedicated to sustainable and responsible business practices. We have integrated the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact into our strategies and operations, committing ourselves to respecting human and labor rights, protecting the environment, and combating corruption in all its forms.

These recognitions highlight our commitment to sustainable practices and responsible business conduct, aligning with our vision for a better future.
