Ellen MacArthur’s Circulytics™ Grade A
EcoVadis silver sustainability rating
3stepIT was awarded an almost perfect score (Grade
A) by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circulytics™
assessment in the company’s first ever rating for its
circular economy progress.
In 2020, we again submitted our EcoVadis assessment
and were pleased to retain our silver sustainability rating.
For our overall score, we ranked in 82nd percentile of
companies undergoing the assessment.
Launched in January 2020, the Ellen MacArthur
Foundation’s Circulytics™ tool allows organisations to
assess how they are progressing in its circular economy
initiatives to deliver a company-level score. This score,
alongside insights and analysis from the Ellen MacArthur
Foundation, helps businesses understand the extent of
their success in adopting circular economy business
opportunities, provides a ‘snapshot’ of the circularity of
their service models, and highlights the most important
development areas to concentrate on.
The EcoVadis assessment is globally recognised
sustainability benchmark that supports businesses across
all industries to monitor progress on set sustainability
metrics. EcoVadis benchmarks companies on four
pillars - Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and
Sustainable Procurement.
3stepIT scored highly for its circular economy business
model, which helps businesses use IT more sustainably
and ensures that devices at the end of their lifecycle are
securely refurbished and reused.
• Endorsement of the United Nations Global Compact and
Our EcoVadis Scorecard for 2020 recognised a number
of strengths across our organisation, including, but not
limited to:
progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals
• Measures to reduce CO2 from business travel
• Reporting on total energy consumption
• Collective agreement, healthcare and bonus scheme for
employees
Senni Simola, Quality
and Social Responsibility
Specialist, said:
Reuse and refurbishment provides a
sustainable alternative to managing
technology that eliminates electronic
waste and provides access to
technology for those that need it most.
• Dedicated resource for ethics issues
• Whistleblowing procedure
• Audits of control procedures to prevent security
breaches and corruption
• Regular supplier assessments
• External assurance of sustainability reporting
This year we also had feedback from our EcoVadis report
to help us improve and grow our sustainability work,
including measures to improve reporting and implement
measurable targets across a number of indicators.
The world is slowly waking up to the
need for a more sustainable way of
consuming technology, and we are
focused on helping our customers
progress towards a more circular way
of doing business, while ensuring we
walk the talk at 3stepIT.
