Invest-NL achieves EcoVadis Gold certificate

In November 2022, Invest-NL achieved EcoVadis Gold certification. EcoVadis is a sustainability rating platform for global supply chains and enables buyers to assess their suppliers based on sustainability criteria. Four aspects are assessed: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

We are proud to announce that Invest-NL's performance has earned an EcoVadis Gold Rating of 71/100, placing us in the top 5% of rated companies.

We're very happy with that result! It shows that even outside experts consider the way we have structured our sustainable operations to be sound. It also gives us a comfortable starting point when we want to put sustainability management on the agenda among companies in our portfolio. After all, passing the EcoVadis assessment is not something Invest-NL achieved on its own. Over the past year, we have had 14 of our portfolio companies rated by EcoVadis and we will continue to do that the over coming period. We experienced the EcoVadis assessment as an enjoyable way to highlight the aspects that are going well and any areas for improvement. This allows us to continue to grow together. Our goal is to establish a portfolio of other successful companies that are mature in terms of sustainability policy and management.
