Biocair, a leading specialist in life sciences logistics, is proud to announce that it has achieved an Advanced sustainability rating in the 2025 EcoVadis Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment, earning a Silver Medal with an overall score of 69/100 — placing it in the top 13% of all companies assessed globally in its sector.
This achievement marks a further improvement on the company’s last assessment, reflecting Biocair’s ongoing commitment to integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices across its global operations.
Key Improvements:
-
Environmental performance rose to 73/100, recognizing strong policies on air pollution, energy consumption and greenhouse gases, materials, waste management and membership in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
-
Comprehensive labor and human rights policies strengthened, including new programs on employee wellbeing, diversity & inclusion and anti-discrimination mechanisms.
-
Ethics score increased to 74/100, driven by enhanced policies on anti-corruption, information security and fraud prevention, as well as mandatory ethics training across the business.
-
Establishment of a Corrective Action Plan, outlining clear steps to address improvement areas such as sustainable procurement, detailed environmental reporting and supplier engagement.
While Biocair’s performance is rated as Advanced, the assessment identified opportunities to drive further improvement, which will form the basis of future actions:
-
Enhancing supplier sustainability programs to improve the Sustainable Procurement score.
-
Strengthening quantitative reporting on environmental and human rights KPIs (e.g., ISO 14001/45001 certifications, GHG emissions data).
-
Continuing to develop partnerships and innovations that decarbonize logistics operations and reduce environmental impact.
