At PAQT, we know that good software makes life better for millions of people. And with our first EcoVadis badge, we have now received recognition for this in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship, too.
An independent review by EcoVadis
We already demonstrate our impact through great project-related cases and stories. But there’s no better way to show that we’re on the right track than through an independent assessment. So, since April, we’ve been able to add the EcoVadis badge to our list of quality labels and certifications. And we’re incredibly proud of it!
EcoVadis assesses how companies perform in the context of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It has grown into the largest and most trusted provider of corporate sustainability assessments. EcoVadis is one of the few global platforms that operate commercially — independently and supported by large organizations such as Rabobank — to measure sustainability in the broadest sense of the word. In doing so, it focuses on environmental protection, ethics, human rights, and sustainable procurement.
The facts at a glance:
- EcoVadis now has a network of more than 125,000 assessed companies.
- The label is recognized in more than 96 countries.
- Every year, organizations in more than 150 industries are assessed.
The audit
To obtain the EcoVadis badge, PAQT went through an extensive audit on nearly all aspects of the company — from how we purchase hardware (and from whom) to the way in which our employees physically work at their desks, and literally everything in between.
We had to fill out an online questionnaire, providing ‘hard-and-fast’ evidence. At least one auditor then checks this set of online questions, including evidence.
Committed
After this first audit, we obtained the ‘Committed’ badge! It’s a great achievement — and as a result, we’re literally committed to achieving the next level in the future.
Beyond PAQT
“It is a great result that also confirms we’re on the right track with our method and philosophy,” says Robert Horsmans. “And a good rating for us helps the clients we work with achieve their ambitions in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship. Plus, it confirms the importance of further growth. For corporate social responsibility requires investments.”
