Don-Bur participates in the independent EcoVadis Sustainability Ratings as part of our ongoing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programme. We have been assessed annually since 2020 to support transparency and independently verified sustainability reporting. In the 2025 assessment, we achieved a Bronze Medal, placing the business within the top 35% of companies evaluated worldwide.
Why this matters to our customers: The EcoVadis assessment provides independent assurance that Don-Bur has formal governance structures, risk controls and improvement plans in place across key sustainability themes. This supports customer due diligence processes, supplier assurance requirements and responsible sourcing commitments.
EcoVadis evaluates organisations across four themes — Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement — using evidence-based criteria aligned to recognised international frameworks including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the UN Global Compact. More than 130,000 companies worldwide are currently assessed.
