Fulkers Bailey Russell Awarded Prestigious Silver Rating from EcoVadis

We are proud to share that we have been awarded the prestigious Silver Rating from EcoVadis in recognition of our commitment to sustainable business practices. The Silver Medal places Fulkers in the top 25% of all assessed companies. The rating validates and demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and supports our company goal to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2035.

“While B Corp focuses on our holistic corporate responsibility, EcoVadis offers a detailed analysis of our operating practices and supply chain, aiding targeted improvements. Together, they enhance our credibility and demonstrate a commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, fostering trust with our clients, stakeholders and partners. Having both accreditations reinforces our dedication to comprehensive sustainability practices across both internal operations and external collaborations. We are one of very few companies to hold both accreditations.” comments Sam Bailey, Partner.

EcoVadis is an internationally recognised sustainability platform that evaluates companies across a range of criteria, including environment, human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement practices.

Carbon Reduction Plan 22/23

This is the second time that Fulkers has calculated and reported its carbon emissions and upon review of the data from 21/22 and 22/23 we can see that the total carbon emissions have increased, however this is relative to the increase in turnover. Based on the increase in turnover the carbon intensity has decreased in 22/23.
