Gasum receives platinum rating in sustainability from EcoVadis

The rating helps Gasum improve its sustainability performance even further.

Gasum has been awarded the platinum medal and rated among the top 1% of rated companies by global sustainability ratings provider EcoVadis. Platinum is the highest EcoVadis rating.

EcoVadis is a globally recognized and trusted assessment platform that rates businesses' sustainability by 21 criteria in four key categories: environmental impact, labor and human rights standards, ethics, and procurement practices. EcoVadis rates over 130,000 companies worldwide.

Gasum is committed to continually improving its sustainability performance and assesses progress in several ways, one of which is the yearly EcoVadis rating. The rating helps Gasum identify risks and potential pain points.

Gasum scored especially well in the environment, labor and human rights as well as ethics criteria. Procurement practices were identified as an area of development, with activities planned for the coming year.

Sustainability incorporated into Gasum’s strategy and values

The EcoVadis rating is based on international sustainability standards such as the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards and the ISO 26000 standard. The ratings provide an evidence-based analysis of performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.

Sustainability is built into Gasum’s strategy and operations and is written into the values of the company. Increasing use of renewable gas and electricity is at the core of Gasum’s strategy and vision for the future.

Gasum’s goal is to offer 7 TWh of renewable gas to its customers yearly by 2027, including biomethane and e-methane. Achieving this goal would mean a combined carbon dioxide reduction of 1.8 million tons per year for Gasum’s customers.
