How Tiberone Technologies Achieved Bronze EcoVadis Certification in Under Two Months

Introduction
Tiberone Technologies, a leading provider of innovative digital solutions, embarked on a strategic journey to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. In response to increasing client expectations and growing market demand for sustainable operations, Tiberone Technologies set an ambitious goal: to achieve EcoVadis certification in record time. This case study outlines the steps taken, the challenges addressed, and the significant impact realised by attaining a Bronze EcoVadis rating in less than two months.

About EcoVadis
EcoVadis is a globally recognised sustainability assessment platform that evaluates organisations’ environmental, social, and ethical performance. With over 100,000 companies assessed worldwide, EcoVadis has become a benchmark for corporate responsibility and sustainable supply chain management. The EcoVadis methodology is anchored in international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000. Earning an EcoVadis medal signals to stakeholders, partners, and clients that a company is dedicated to continuous improvement in sustainable business practices.

The Four Pillars of EcoVadis

1. Environment
   The Environment pillar assesses a company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, optimise energy and resource consumption, and manage environmental risks. For Tiberone Technologies, this involved enhancing environmental management systems, implementing initiatives to reduce waste, and promoting resource efficiency throughout operations. The company prioritised measurable improvements in energy usage and introduced policies to encourage greener workspaces.
   
   
2. Labour & Human Rights
   This pillar examines labour practices and the protection of human rights within the organisation. Tiberone Technologies reviewed and strengthened its policies to ensure full compliance with international labour standards, including fair working conditions, health and safety, and equal opportunities. Training programmes were introduced to raise awareness and embed human rights considerations into daily operations.
   
   
3. Ethics
   The Ethics pillar measures the robustness of anti-corruption frameworks, business integrity, and transparency. Tiberone Technologies reinforced its code of conduct, implemented new anti-bribery procedures, and enhanced whistleblower mechanisms. These actions aimed to cultivate a culture of trust, accountability, and ethical decision-making across all levels of the business.
   
   
4. Sustainable Procurement
   Sustainable Procurement evaluates how a company manages its supply chain to ensure suppliers meet environmental and social standards. Tiberone Technologies revised procurement policies to incorporate sustainability criteria, conducted supplier assessments, and engaged in dialogue with key vendors about expectations and improvement opportunities. This holistic approach ensured alignment with EcoVadis standards and fostered a responsible sourcing culture.

Project Approach
The journey to EcoVadis certification was marked by a structured and collaborative methodology:
Initial Assessment: A comprehensive gap analysis identified priority areas for improvement across all four pillars.

• Action Planning: Cross-functional teams developed targeted action plans, with clear timelines and responsibilities.
  
  
• Policy Enhancement: Existing policies were updated, and new procedures were introduced to meet EcoVadis requirements.
  
  
• Data Collection & Evidence Gathering: Relevant documentation was compiled to demonstrate compliance and progress.
  
  
• Submission & Feedback: The EcoVadis assessment was completed and submitted within six weeks, followed by a rapid review and feedback process.

The entire project, from initial planning to certification, was completed in under two months, showcasing exceptional organisational alignment and dedication.
