The guarding firm Corps Security reports that it has received a silver award from EcoVadis, an independent provider of business sustainability ratings for over 150,000 companies. The rating places it among the top 15 per cent of companies assessed by the organisation in the past year.
EcoVadis provides scorecards for organisations so that procurement departments can monitor the sustainability performance of their organisations and trading partners. It scores organisations against four themes: environment, labour and human rights, sustainable procurement, and ethics. These cover the life cycle of a business under 21 subgroups, from the impact of product use and end-of-life, employee health and safety, diversity and discrimination, to anti-corruption policies and supplier environmental practices.
Corps gained two points from the previous year’s assessment and scored highly across all areas, achieving advanced weightings in environment, labour, and ethics, and a good weighting for sustainable procurement. To mark the improvement, EcoVadis planted a tree on behalf of Corps, through its partner One Tree Planted.
Sharon McLaren, quality and compliance manager at Corps Security, said: “Our improved score is testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible business practice. As a social enterprise, our mission is to balance commercial success with positive social and environmental impact, and this recognition from EcoVadis demonstrates that we are on the right path.”
Corps adds that it recently demonstrated its wider sustainable impact in its 2025 Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) report (to read in full click here). The report detailed its Gold certification from independent sustainability reporting accreditor Neutral Carbon Zone, how 99 per cent of all staff earn at or above the Real Living Wage, its ESG Scrutiny Group’s work, and its growing spend with social enterprises.
