"We believe in responsible and sustainable business," said André Noordwijk and Marco Horneman, the founders and directors of BeGlobal. "We are now going for gold. We are counting on being awarded the Ecovadis Gold certificate within a short period of time. That process is already underway."
"The EcoVadis certification means a lot to us," Noordwijk and Horneman state. "After all, we are committed to keeping BeGlobal's ecological footprint as small as possible, and we take CSR and sustainability in our business operations very seriously. The certificate is the official recognition that we are doing that well. We are therefore super proud to be among the first distributors of product media to receive the Ecovadis label. "
Official recognition
"We attach great importance to corporate responsibility and sustainable operations. This is important for BeGlobal, and of course for our customers and suppliers with whom we work. With the EcoVadis label, we literally show that we take our social and societal responsibility and are committed to ethical business practices." The fact that BeGlobal has been affiliated with Amfori BSCI since 2017 is further proof of this.
