"Cooperate or perish" - are companies truly striving to be sustainable?
Companies' sustainability efforts are progressing according to EcoVadis ' latest Sustainability Performance Index report.
More countries and organisations are rethinking how to approach social and environmental issues, where Index findings show a 'bounce back' in sustainable procurement efforts after results declined between 2017 and 2020. Despite this, the return of this year's COP27 summit shows the hard work is yet to come.
