Client Needs

Svitla Systems, a global leader in software development and technology solutions with locations in the United States, Ukraine, Mexico, Poland, Costa Rica, Argentina, India, and Canada, sought to improve its EcoVadis score and further develop its sustainability program. With an increasing emphasis on sustainable business practices in the global market, the company aimed to elevate its sustainability performance and secure a higher EcoVadis rating to align with industry standards and meet stakeholder expectations.

Approach and Solution

• EcoVadis Gap Assessment: We conducted an assessment of the client’s current sustainability practices to identify gaps and areas for improvement based on EcoVadis’ evaluation criteria. This helped us pinpoint specific areas that needed attention, ranging from environmental impact to governance practices. 

• EcoVadis Questionnaire Support: Our team worked directly with the client to complete and submit the EcoVadis questionnaire, ensuring that responses accurately reflected their commitment to sustainability and aligned with best practices. 

• Sustainability Policy Development: We assisted the client in developing sustainability policies, covering key areas such as environmental impact, labor and human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement. These policies formed the foundation for their sustainability strategy. 

• Strategic Recommendations: Based on our findings, we provided a set of strategic recommendations for continued sustainability improvement. This plan outlined specific actions to help the client enhance their sustainability practices, prepare for future EcoVadis assessments, and ensure sustained growth in their sustainability efforts.
