Markerstudy Group has been awarded an EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing the organisation among the top 5% of more than 130,000 companies assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.

As part of Markerstudy Group, Auto Windscreens is proud to have contributed to this significant achievement, which recognises the Group's commitment to operating responsibly, ethically and sustainably across its businesses.

EcoVadis is one of the world's leading independent sustainability assessment platforms, evaluating organisations across four key areas: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Its methodology is widely recognised and provides an independent measure of how businesses manage environmental, social and governance responsibilities.

Markerstudy Group achieved an overall score of 80 out of 100, placing it in the 95th percentile globally. The assessment awarded scores of 88 for Environment, 78 for Labour and Human Rights, 76 for Ethics, and 78 for Sustainable Procurement.

The Gold Medal demonstrates the Group's ongoing focus on responsible business practices, transparency and continuous improvement. It also provides reassurance to customers, partners and suppliers that the businesses within the Group operate to recognised sustainability standards that have been independently verified.

For organisations across many sectors, sustainability and environmental, social and governance considerations are becoming increasingly important when selecting business partners and suppliers. Achievements such as the EcoVadis Gold Medal help strengthen confidence in supply chains and demonstrate a commitment to long term responsible business practices.

While the recognition marks an important milestone, Markerstudy Group views it as part of a wider sustainability journey. Opportunities for further improvement have already been identified, with work continuing across the Group to build on this strong performance and enhance sustainability initiatives in the years ahead.

The award reflects the collective efforts of colleagues across the business and highlights the positive impact of working together towards shared environmental, ethical and social objectives.
