Econocom achieves EcoVadis Platinum rating

Econocom has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Medal, placing the group among the top 1% of more than 150,000 companies assessed worldwide for environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.

The recognition, granted by EcoVadis, marks the highest distinction available and reflects a sustained, multi-year commitment to responsible business practices embedded within Econocom’s “One Econocom” strategic plan.

With an overall score of 88 out of 100, the company demonstrated strong performance across all four ESG pillars evaluated: Environment (89), Social & Human Rights (89), Ethics (86), and Sustainable Procurement (86).

The Platinum rating represents a significant milestone for Econocom, which had originally targeted the top-tier recognition by 2028. Achieving it two years ahead of schedule underscores the pace and consistency of its ESG progress.

The result also builds on the group’s previous EcoVadis Gold rating in 2024 and reflects a 12-point improvement in its overall score.

Angel Benguigui, CEO of Econocom, said the award highlights the organisation’s long-term commitment to integrating sustainability into its core operations.

“Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum Medal is a great source of pride for the Econocom Group,” he said. “It is a recognition of a long-term commitment driven by all our employees to fully integrate environmental, social and ethical considerations into the heart of our business model.”

He added that the group sees sustainable performance as “a tangible driver of value” for clients, partners and stakeholders.

Econocom’s recognition comes at a time when ESG criteria are playing an increasingly important role in procurement decisions and corporate partnerships. The Platinum rating is expected to enhance the group’s positioning as a trusted partner in responsible digital transformation.

The award also complements the company’s validation by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2024, confirming its commitments to decarbonisation.

Véronique di Benedetto, Vice-President of Econocom France in charge of ESG and Impact, said the achievement reflects a long-standing company ethos.

“This distinction is part of a long-term trajectory, true to Econocom’s DNA since 1973,” she said. “It reflects a collective commitment driven by all our teams around key priorities including responsible digital and circular economy, inclusion and diversity, reducing our environmental footprint, social engagement, and responsible governance.”

Econocom said the milestone reinforces its commitment to maintaining high ESG standards while continuing to support clients in achieving their own sustainability goals.
