APS has been awarded an EcoVadis Gold Medal for sustainability performance, achieving an overall score of 84 out of 100 in its latest assessment. This places us in the top 2% of companies globally, recognizing the strength and maturity of its environmental, social and ethical practices.<\/p>\n

EcoVadis<\/strong><\/a> is a globally recognized sustainability assessment platform used by organizations to evaluate ESG performance across operations and supply chains. For us, this independent verification plays a key role in our commitment to Trust & Transparency, one of our three sustainability pillars, providing external assurance that our sustainability policies, governance controls and reporting frameworks are robust, credible and effective.<\/p>\n

We achieved our strongest scores in the Ethics and Environment pillars, reflecting a long-standing focus on strong governance, responsible business practices and environmental stewardship. These results recognize the practical measures embedded across the organization, including waste management, carbon reporting, ethical risk management and responsible supplier engagement.<\/p>\n

Importantly, this year\u2019s EcoVadis Gold medal rating reflects continued improvement and work already embedded within APS, rather than a fundamental change in approach. We have been assessed by EcoVadis for several years and we have recently focused on strengthening governance structures, improving data quality and ensuring consistency in how sustainability performance is measured and reported across the business. The Gold Medal confirms that these efforts are both mature and well-embedded.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the achievement, Andrew Young, Head of Sustainability at APS, said:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\u201cEcoVadis Gold is an important validation of the way we operate as a business. It reflects the strength of our management systems and the collective commitment of people across APS to putting sustainability principles into practice. I\u2019d like to particularly recognize the contribution of our HR, Compliance and Supply Chain teams, who have played a key role in cascading the holistic ESG requirements of EcoVadis into their areas of the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe value external assessments like EcoVadis because they give our clients confidence in how we manage sustainability, governance and risk. This independently assured baseline creates more opportunities to work collaboratively with clients on their specific goals and targets. This is where we see our primary role as a trusted and effective partner in sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our score sitting just one point outside the Platinum threshold, our focus for 2026 is to reach that rating while continuing to support client-led sustainability initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
