cyber-Wear is clearly pursuing a strategy of sustainability

cyber-Wear was invited to the supplier assessment portal, for the second time, by its customer Deutsche Bahn. EcoVadis is the leading platform for monitoring sustainability performance in the global supply chain network. After the initial assessment, both the supplier and the customer receive a detailed overview of the supplier's Corporate Social Responsibility performance, which can be used to identify strengths and potential for improvement. 

In the initial assessment, the company is invited to complete an online CSR questionnaire and add supporting documents. The questionnaire is split into four subject areas: The environment, social, ethics and sustainable procurement. Detailed questions are asked here, for example, about safety at work, working conditions, the observance of human rights, fair business practices and investments in the community and development. For some questions it is necessary to upload supporting documents, because they are key to providing reliable and credible answers.

The assessment of EcoVadis is important in particular for large, multinational companies, as economic and social risks represent critical points in connection with their suppliers. In this assessment, cyber-Wear obtained good marks and was categorised as a reliable partner. In doing so, the company gains credibility and recognition in CSR, so that it can hold its own with the competition as the standards which need to be met are very high.
