A Major Step Forward in Our Sustainability Journey
Weighwell is proud to announce that we have achieved a Platinum Medal in our 2025 EcoVadis sustainability assessment. This rating places us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally and represents significant progression from our Silver Medal in 2024.
What the EcoVadis Assessment Measures
EcoVadis is a globally recognised provider of business sustainability ratings. As a company we were evaluated across three core key themes:
- Environment.
- Labour & Human Rights.
- Ethics.
The assessment is based on rigorous international standards including the UN Global Compact, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and ISO 26000 guidelines. Achieving a Platinum rating highlights our strong and consistent performance across all three areas.
A Shared Commitment to Improvement
We’ve moved from Silver to Platinum in just one year and that reflects the incredible commitment of our team to continual improvement, transparency and sustainability. Our customers know we take our responsibilities seriously and this rating confirms that.Paul Horsfall, Managing Director said:
Over the last 12 months, Weighwell has taken clear, measurable actions to improve how we operate:
- We introduced more environmental initiatives to reduce energy use and minimise waste.
- We enhanced employee wellbeing, training and workplace practices.
- We reinforced ethical standards throughout the business.
These efforts are not one-off projects. Rather, they reflect our long-standing belief that responsible practices benefit everyone – our team, our customers, our suppliers and the rail industry.
Looking Ahead with Purpose
Since its founding in 2007, EcoVadis has become a global benchmark for sustainability performance. Weighwell is proud to be part of this growing network and remains committed to continuous improvement.
As a manufacturer of specialist train weighing systems, we operate in a sector where precision and reliability are critical. Just as importantly, we apply the same disciplne and care to how we act as an employer, supplier and partner.
We will continue to embed sustainability into everything we do – not just as a goal but as a guiding principle.
