Whether you occupy our shared spaces, private offices and suites, or regularly book our meeting rooms, this certification offers benefits for both your employer brand and your CSR ambitions.
What does Ecovadis certification cover? What are the benefits of working in Ecovadis-certified coworking spaces? We explain all the advantages of working in a Mitwit that is now Ecovadis certified!
What is EcoVadis certification?
EcoVadis certification measures the social and environmental responsibility performance of companies(SRE). This assessment is recognised worldwide in more than 185 countries, including major business countries such as the United States, Canada, China and Japan, as well as all the countries of the European Union.
EcoVadis was created in France in 2007. Since then, more than 2 million companies have been analysed and more than 150,000 have been assessed by the organisation in more than 220 different business sectors.
The assessment covers 4 main areas:
- The environment: energy, pollution, recycling....
- Social and human rights: working conditions, diversity...
- Ethics: corruption, information management...
- Responsible purchasing: suppliers' social and environmental practices...
Summary table of the 21 sustainability criteria assessed by Ecovadis certification
At the end of this assessment, EcoVadis issues a score out of 100. Then, depending on the score obtained and the positioning, EcoVadis awards certification in the form of a medal. This reflects the company's CSR performance.
In addition, to be eligible for an Ecovadis medal, companies must achieve a minimum score of 30 points out of 100 in each of the 4 themes. This minimum threshold ensures that Ecovadis-certified companies do not neglect any aspect. Finally, EcoVadis only assesses companies with more than 10 employees.
The Ecovadis assessment is often requested by large groups from their suppliers, as it represents a solid guarantee of trust and quality.
Application of Ecovadis certification: what does it mean for companies that take up an office with Mitwit?
Obtaining the EcoVadis bronze medal rewards the efforts made by Mitwit's teams in several key areas, including :
- Training our staff in the fight against corruption and influence peddling.
- Setting up an Ethics Alert system, which allows people to report problems in the strictest confidence.
- Recycling furniture from old workspaces as part of our social re-use initiative. For example, we donated tables from the former Porte de Montmartre coworking address to AIMA, as well as to the NOVO hospital.
This EcoVadis medal is your guarantee that you are choosing workspaces that are in line with your CSR objectives. This is even more important if you are seeking EcoVadis certification for your company.
For example, one of the criteria assessed by EcoVadis ‘Sustainable Purchasing’ concerns the social and environmental practices of suppliers. If you call on Mitwit to organize an event such as a seminar, you will know that the management of the space, the equipment provided and the choice of caterer are all part of a sustainable and responsible approach. Organising your event in a Mitwit workspace therefore frees you from the mental burden of organising an event in line with your CSR policy.
The same goes for the management and maintenance of your workspaces: if you take a private office space at Mitwit, which is EcoVadis certified, you will benefit from a turnkey workspace, with numerous services included in line with a sustainable approach.
