EcoVadis and Avery Dennison shortlisted for sustainability award

Avery Dennison partnered with EcoVadis to implement a collaborative program to review corporate social responsibility performance in their global supply chain. EcoVadis’ platform delivers scorecards with quantitative ratings on 21 social responsibility aspects including environment, labor and human rights, business ethics and sustainable procurement. 

‘An integral component of achieving any sustainability goal is committing to continuous improvement and fostering transparency throughout the supply chain. Avery Dennison understands the critical role supplier relationships and engagement play in upholding these commitments and is actively working with its partners to drive its sustainability vision forward. This recognition by Future of Sourcing shows their efforts are paying off and we’re proud to collaborate with their team in achieving their ambitious goals,’ said Valerie Touchon, VP of Customer Success at EcoVadis.

‘Avery Dennison is thrilled to be recognized for our sustainability procurement program,’ added Robyn Buma, senior director, global procurement at Avery Dennison. ‘This project not only minimizes Avery Dennison’s environmental risk downstream; it provides a tangible way to collaborate with our suppliers on meaningful projects that advance our sustainable sourcing strategy.’

Winners of the 2019 Future of Sourcing Awards sponsored by Sourcing Industry Group will be announced at a ceremony taking place in October this year at the SIG Global Executive Summit in Carlsbad, California.
