TLC earns silver medal in EcoVadis sustainability rating

Teneo Linguistics Company (TLC) was recently awarded a silver medal in the EcoVadis sustainability rating program.

EcoVadis guides companies in their journey to a more sustainable world. It rates them based on material issues according to the company’s size, location, and industry.

“We were so impressed with EcoVadis and their ability to tailor the requirements to our type of operation and size,” TLC Owner and CEO Hana Laurenzo said. “We have worked hard for several years to advance our business in all the categories under ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and operate an ethical, sustainable business that makes sound decisions at every turn.

“We are overjoyed at our results, getting a Silver medal right out of the gate. Now we have a starting point and a roadmap that will help us to get even better in the upcoming years.”

The medals program recognizes companies that have completed the EcoVadis assessment process. This process requires demonstrating a strong management system that addresses sustainability criteria, as outlined in the EcoVadis methodology. Companies must also meet specific licensing and eligibility criteria.

The criteria include a minimum score of 30 in each of the following areas:

• Environment

• Ethics

• Labor and Human Rights

• Sustainable Procurement (minimum score of 25)

Medals are awarded to companies that fall within a percentage in meeting all EcoVadis criteria.

According to the EcoVadis website, “Environmental, social, and ethical performance – or Sustainability – is an essential factor for smart business today. Companies, including your trading partners, face increasing pressure to make their transparency and sustainability practices better. This includes the sustainability of their trading partners, which includes you.”
