C ongratulations Again - EcoVadis is a global provider of business sustainability ratings covering over 175,000 companies across 180 countries and 250 industries. It operates as a third-party assessment platform that assesses companies on their environmental, social and governance practices, producing a standardized assessment that can be accessed and compared by business partners, procurement teams and customers.
The EcoVadis platform sits at the intersection of corporate social responsibility and commercial procurement. Unlike self-reporting ESG reports or investor-facing ESG reports such as MSCI or Sustainalytics, EcoVadis is designed for the B2B supply chain context, where buyers need evidence-based, comparable data to assess their suppliers’ sustainability management.
"HMD GLOBAL OY AWARDED A PLATINUM MEDAL, ranked in the top 1% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the 12 months prior to the award. This reflects the quality of the company’s sustainability system and demonstrates its management’s commitment to promoting transparency in the value chain."
The EcoVadis methodology is aligned with internationally recognized frameworks such as the UN Global Compact, GRI and ISO 26000. This alignment gives the EcoVadis rating credibility not only in the procurement environment, but also in the regulatory and investor environment, as the same sustainability data supports multiple reporting requirements.
Official HMD Corporate Post
We are thrilled to announce that Human Mobile Devices (HMD) has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Rating for the fifth consecutive year.
EcoVadis Platinum is reserved exclusively for the top 1% of businesses assessed worldwide across Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Back in 2020, we began this journey with Silver status. Reaching and maintaining Platinum status from 2022 through 2026 reflects our long-term commitment to designing durable, repairable technology, building sustainability into our sourcing decisions, and holding ourselves to high business and ethical standards.
A huge thank you to our teams, partners, and suppliers globally who make this milestone possible every day.
Companies are typically invited to an EcoVadis assessment if the buyer has made this supplier rating a condition. Increasingly, organizations are proactively pursuing the rating, recognizing that strong credentials can open doors to new competition, providing them with a competitive advantage in markets where sustainability certification is a commercial requirement.
