BM Caterers has been awarded a ‘gold medal’ for ESG performance by EcoVadis.
The medal places the specialist caterer in the top five per cent of 100,000 companies to receive business sustainability ratings from EcoVadis, including global brands AXA, ING, Pernod Ricard and LVMH.
BM has been working with EcoVadis as part of a client contract since 2016, which has also been gold-rated for the last two years.
A new, expanded partnership will see BM benefit from annual sustainability assessments, action plans, and access to resources, webinars and events, with the aim to drive better sustainability results and reduce its carbon output through a robust carbon measuring strategy.
Sally Grimes, quality standards manager at the UK workplace caterer, says: “ESG is a journey of learning and change for BM: recognising the critical importance of sustainability in the way we work, going beyond what is required of us and aligning with companies who we believe can help us take the next step forward in this journey.

“EcoVadis partners with many of our clients already, is a widely recognised accreditation, and having worked with them for some time ourselves, the value they bring was clear, so we wanted to develop this relationship further and take the next step with them.”
EcoVadis helps companies manage ESG risk and compliance, meet corporate sustainability goals, and drive impact at scale by guiding sustainability performance improvement at both company and value chain level.
Its methodology is based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000.
