Vantage Point awarded silver medal by EcoVadis

Vantage Point Global has been awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis, the world's largest provider of corporate sustainability ratings, for the second year in a row. EcoVadis evaluated VP's working practices across four categories - Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement - analysing key metrics, company policies, and practices in place. 

Vantage Point is proud to be a social impact business, so we are extremely proud to once again receive this accreditation. With a silver medal, we are within the top 15% of the 130,000+ companies scored worldwide. 

Our commitment to consistently do the right thing

This award reflects our unwavering dedication to consistently doing the right thing across all aspects of our business practices. Our approach is rooted in the belief that our people are our greatest asset, and we strive to create a workplace culture that prioritises their well-being, professional growth, and satisfaction. We are committed to fostering an engaging and fair working environment for our head office staff and consultant workforce. By investing in our employees and ensuring they have the resources and support they need, we empower them to excel in their roles and contribute meaningfully to our collective success. We are a people-first organisation, and this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, driving us to maintain high ethical standards and promote a positive, inclusive, and dynamic work environment.

Client sustainable procurement security

The silver EcoVadis medal assures our clients that we are strongly committed to sustainability and ethical business practices. It assures them that we are meeting and exceeding industry standards, ensuring our operations are both environmentally and socially responsible. This recognition by EcoVadis reinforces our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our business, from our supply chain to our internal policies. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation in sustainability, striving to set a benchmark for others in the industry.

Environment

We used the EcoVadis carbon estimator to calculate our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The tool gave us a detailed understanding of the emissions generated by our activities, and in particular, travel-related emissions. As an organisation, we are dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint by reducing travel and holding virtual meetings and training whenever possible. However, for essential travel undertaken in 2023, we offset our environmental impact by partnering with 'Just One Tree'. This tree-planting initiative not only helps absorb the carbon dioxide emitted but also contributes to reforestation efforts, supporting biodiversity and enhancing the natural environment. As a business, we will continue to strive to make a positive difference for the planet.

Accessibility

Vantage Point is proud to be a social impact company, with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) deeply embedded at the core of everything we do. We are committed to offering equal opportunities to everyone. This year we joined a government initiative and became a disability confident employer. This scheme provides us with a structured framework and accountability from a third party to ensure that we maintain comprehensive accessibility throughout our recruitment processes. By participating, we are actively working to break down barriers and create a more equitable hiring process, ensuring that individuals with disabilities are given fair consideration and support. Our goal is to cultivate a diverse workforce that reflects the communities around us, and we are committed to continuously improving our practices to achieve this vision.
