Standardising sustainable procurement practices
Sellers who have earned an EcoVadis Medal or Badge can now feature this accreditation on their Amazon Business store profile.
As the global standard for resilient and sustainable supply chains, EcoVadis is supporting businesses in demonstrating environmental responsibility, regardless of company size.
This development represents a step towards establishing standardised sustainable procurement practices, introducing enhanced transparency within Amazon’s business-to-business (B2B) marketplace.
Additionally, it could provide a competitive edge for responsible sellers, particularly as consumer expectations for sustainability and supply chain transparency continue to intensify.
Sustainable procurement has become a critical strategy for competitive businesses.
What was once considered an additional benefit, earning organisations praise for environmental initiatives, has evolved into a source of tangible business value through environmental reporting and procurement accountability.
Facing mounting pressure from consumers and stakeholders, organisations are strengthening their supply chain due diligence whilst navigating mandatory reporting requirements.
This shift means they are relocating beyond mere regulatory compliance, actively selecting sellers based on verified, data-driven environmental, social, ethical and sustainable procurement credentials.
Organisations that fail to adopt these practices are experiencing reduced customer engagement, diminished business resilience and lower profitability.
“The market is demanding radical transparency. Buyers want to align their procurement strategies with their corporate values and EcoVadis is the global standard for building that alignment possible,” declares Pierre-François Thaler, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of EcoVadis.
