On our way to EcoVadis Gold medal

March 2026

Selenis Portugal is getting closer to achieving the EcoVadis Gold Medal! While maintaining our Silver Medal, significant progress has been made:

Selenis Portugal improved by 10 points across all themes and is now recognized as advanced in sustainability performance in every area. This achievement increased our overall score by 10 points, placing us in the 93rd percentile, just shy of the 95th percentile required for Gold.

Many of our Policies are considered comprehensive; however, setting quantitative targets remain essential to achieving the maximum score. We have significantly enhanced our reporting on Ethical Measures, attaining the highest possible score in Labor and Human Rights Measures. In Certifications we have already achieved the maximum score in Environmental performance and improved our performance in the other themes.

Endorsements and Reporting remain our biggest opportunities for improvement. While we improved our score for Environmental endorsements, other areas are still considered as either unendorsed or of low endorsement. Additionally, there was no improvement in Reporting. However, we have already taken steps to enhance reporting in key areas for our 2025 assessment and are taking actions to report on other areas where we have not been reporting until now.

These results highlight our commitment to continuous improvement and sustainability excellence. We would like to thank the Teams that contributed to this achievement, and we look forward to reaching even greater milestones.
