TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CHEP, a Brambles company and a global leader in supply chain solutions, upholds EcoVadis’ highest available sustainability rating, Platinum, for the fourth consecutive year.

Together, these accolades celebrate CHEP Canada as a company exemplifying and championing sustainability practices.
Since 2016, CHEP Canada has participated in the EcoVadis assessment and continues to challenge itself by setting ambitious short- and long-term sustainability targets. Having received EcoVadis’ Platinum rating for the past four years, CHEP Canada has consistently achieved top-performing scores across key categories, including environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The EcoVadis assessment reviews 21 criteria surrounding companies’ policies, actions and reporting across more than 200 industries.

“At CHEP, we’ve fostered a sustainability culture that pushes us forward every day toward our regenerative ambition through collaboration and innovation,” said Frank Bozzo, Vice President and General Manager of CHEP Canada. “It is CHEP’s circular economy model, talented and passionate employees and supply chain partners that enable us to achieve recognitions like EcoVadis’ Platinum rating for our sustainability ambitions, and we’re grateful for the opportunity.”
The share, repair and reuse of CHEP’s 360 million pooled platforms eliminates supply network waste and emissions for CHEP, its customers and its partners.
