This Gold Level was awarded to CHEP Europe for its environmentally conscious development and achievements in areas concerning the Environment, Labour Practices, Fair Business Practices and Supply Chain.
EcoVadis’ methodology is built on international Corporate Social Responsibility standards including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO 26000, covering 150 spend categories and 140 countries.

CHEP is part of the Brambles Limited Group, a supply chain solutions business that was ranked in the top position in its global category (Commercial Services and Supplies) on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. It is also one of only six companies to be placed on the 2017 Forests A List by CDP, the non-profit environmental disclosure platform which recognises global leaders in fighting deforestation. These recognitions are the result of Brambles implementing the circular economy, at a global scale. The company is also a signatory to the UN’s Global Compact and has 2020 Sustainability Goals that are closely aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We are a sustainable business and, as the global leader in sustainable supply chains, our actions don’t go unnoticed. CHEP has the scale and expertise to help our customers generate efficiencies in their supply chains and hit their sustainability targets.”
