Thing-it earns Bronze Medal from EcoVadis for Sustainability Performance

Thing-it performed above industry average in all assessment topics, Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. We are especially passionate about environmental and social topics, since these are also the areas we are addressing in the services for our clients. In our industry, Labor & Human Rights is the topic with the highest weight, thus we want to work on further measures in this area. In Environment we excelled most thanks to our numerous measures focused on reducing and neutralizing carbon emissions, such as powering our office spaces with 100% renewable energy, calculating, and offsetting our emissions every year, and making our emissions transparent in our Sustainability Report.

Sustainable Procurement currently shows our weakest performance, as we have a small supply chain with rather low risk for critical incidents. However, we are glad EcoVadis outlines corrective actions that will help us improve in the upcoming months.

The assessment taught us a lot about sustainability reporting. It is a great incentive to formulate more clear guidelines and quantitative goals that will improve our capacity to measure our progress. Furthermore, the assessment is a great tool to scan our sustainability strategy for potential gaps and take a holistic approach that covers all areas.
