We are proud to announce that EcoVadis has accepted our FSSC 24000 Certification Scheme as a valid certificate under the Labor and Human Rights topic. This recognition marks an important step in integrating certified social sustainability management systems with widely used procurement assessment frameworks.

While EcoVadis operates as a global ratings platform, FSSC 24000 offers independently audited assurance in the field of Social Sustainability. These combined strengths allow organizations to demonstrate verified social sustainability practices within the EcoVadis disclosure process. This recognition enhances the consumer goods industry in its effort on social sustainability with FSSC 24000 certification towards procurement networks, supporting companies in meeting buyer expectations while reinforcing the value of robust certification.

How EcoVadis’ Certification Indicator works

Certificates are an important element utilized during the assessment process of a rated company. They are categorized as part of a company’s Actions, which includes other topics such as third-party audits, internal procedures, and employee training. Certifications account for 35% of the 40% weight of Actions within the EcoVadis assessment scoring methodology. To be considered valid, they must include standardized and clear measurement criteria, be conducted by a credible third-party auditor, and be verifiable with external methods.
