EcoVadis provides a sustainability ratings for businesses, assessing how effectively organisations manage sustainability through their policies, governance, processes and responsible business practices.

The move from Bronze to Silver reflects the progress RivingtonHark has made over the past year in strengthening its corporate approach to sustainability and provides independent recognition of that improvement.

The assessment considers how sustainability is embedded across the organisation, including the frameworks, policies and governance that support responsible decision making and the way the business operates.

Mark Harvey, Executive Director and Head of Asset Management at RivingtonHark, said: “Moving from Bronze to Silver in a year is something we’re really pleased with and reflects that sustainability continues to be firmly embedded in how we operate as an organisation – from our policies and governance through to the decisions we make day to day.  The Silver Medal is welcome recognition of that progress, but it also gives us a clear benchmark from which to keep improving”.
