EcoVadis assesses more than 90,000 companies across 160 countries to evaluate their sustainability work and help them improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The Gold rating means that HMS is among the top 5% of the assessed companies.

EcoVadis evaluates corporate policies, initiatives and achievements in four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. 

Previously rated Silver, HMS Networks has this year improved its result to Gold rating. This means that the company is amongst the top 5% of companies assessed in terms of sustainability performance.

 

"We are of course very happy to receive the EcoVadis Gold rating," says Kristina Altner, Sustainability Manager at HMS.

"Sustainability is one of our three focus areas for 2025 and we have taken major strides lately to include sustainability in all parts of our business and to follow up our efforts. Our reporting according to GRI and becoming a member of the UN Global Compact are important measures for a solid sustainability framework, but the most important thing about the EcoVadis report is that it points out areas where we need to improve. This gives us invaluable insight for becoming even more sustainable going forward," concludes Kristina Altner.
