Bronze Ecovadis medal
In 2025, the Sète Port Services obtained the Bronze Ecovadis medal. Obtaining this EcoVadis medal proves that the company has a knowledge of its sustainability challenges, while highlighting areas for improvement.
The EcoVadis Bronze medal is awarded to companies through the EcoVadis evaluation, which takes into account company performance on its sustainability challenges..
The evaluation is based on a set of criteria grouped into four main themes: environment, social and human rights, ethics, and responsible purchasing. We explain everything about the EcoVadis evaluation system in this article.
