Leading UK manufacturer of wet wipes and sachets, Guardpack, has been awarded a Bronze rating by EcoVadis in its first assessment. The company has also successfully passed its latest ISO 14001 surveillance audit with zero non-conformities, reinforcing its commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices.
EcoVadis is a globally recognised platform that assesses organisations on their environmental, social, and ethical performance. Its methodology evaluates a wide range of criteria, including environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Achieving a Bronze rating places Guardpack among companies demonstrating a solid foundation in sustainability and responsible operations.
Guardpack’s achievement is complemented by its continued adherence to ISO 14001, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems. Maintaining certification with zero non-conformities demonstrates that Guardpack continues to manage its environmental responsibilities effectively and in line with recognised best practice.
This milestone reflects the ongoing efforts of the Guardpack team to strengthen its approach to ethical trading and sustainability. As supply chains come under increasing scrutiny, independent assessments like these provide valuable assurance to customers and partners that a business is operating responsibly and transparently.
In addition to EcoVadis and ISO 14001, Guardpack is also a member of SEDEX, further supporting its commitment to ethical supply chain practices. Together, these frameworks provide independent assurance of Guardpack’s approach to environmental management, labour standards, and business ethics.
Managing Director Jeremy Freedman said: “We’re extremely proud to have achieved a Bronze rating in our first EcoVadis assessment and to have maintained ISO 14001 certification with zero non-conformities. These results reflect the consistent work of our team to operate responsibly and meet recognised industry standards. We will continue to improve our performance across all areas of sustainability and compliance.”
As ethical trading and sustainability continue to shape procurement decisions, Guardpack remains committed to supporting customers with reliable, responsible and high-quality manufacturing solutions.
