ALIER RECEIVES ECOVADIS GOLD MEDAL FOR SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE – GLOBAL RECOGNITION

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the ‘Gold Medal’ in EcoVadis’ 2024 Sustainability Rating. This recognition stems from the global standard for corporate sustainability ratings, which evaluates best practices in policies, actions, and outcomes across various sustainability areas such as environment, ethics, labor practices, human rights, and sustainable supply chain. These assessments are based on international sustainability standards such as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and ISO 26000.

Obtaining this certification places, us among the top 5% of companies globally, within a universe comprising nearly 85,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis in the last 12 months, scoring at the 96th percentile or above. Alier has achieved an overall score of 73 out of 100, demonstrating our commitment to ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance), including a score of 80 out of 100 in the environmental pillar.

Furthermore, in the social sphere, we promote a balance between our team’s work and personal life, along with workplace flexibility and a focus on results. These practices have led us to obtain additional certifications, such as the Choose My Company Certified Reviews – Spain, which has awarded us the Happy Index at Work 2023 certification. Additionally, we have been accredited by Choose My Company – Spain 2023 in the WeImpactIndex® category, where 82.2% of our employees believe that we are adequately addressing current environmental challenges.
