FARNEK SERVICES LLC has been awarded a Bronze Medal from EcoVadis, a prestigious recognition granted to the top 35% of companies assessed by EcoVadis over the past year. This accolade is a testament to Farnek’s robust sustainability management system and their unwavering commitment to promoting transparency across the value chain.
EcoVadis, a renowned provider of business sustainability ratings, evaluated Farnek based on four key areas—Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
The favourable assessment highlighted several areas where Farnek excelled:
Environmental Leadership
Farnek’s environmental policies are comprehensive, covering key issues such as materials, chemicals, waste, and energy consumption. The company is an active supporter of the Science Based Targets initiative and the United Nations Global Compact. Practical measures include energy conservation training for employees, reduction in energy consumption directly related to IT infrastructure and lighting systems, and the implementation of eco-friendly materials across operations.
Labour and Human Rights Commitment
Farnek’s policy framework supports a range of initiatives in health and safety, career management, diversity, and inclusion. Employee welfare is a priority, with policies such as health care coverage, family-friendly programs, and specialised training schemes. These commitments are reinforced by the endorsement of the United Nations Global Compact.
Sustainable Procurement Practices
Farnek integrates social and environmental clauses into supplier contracts and conducts sustainability risk analyses prior to supplier assessments. The company has implemented a supplier sustainability code of conduct and offers incentives to suppliers performing well in environmental and social dimensions.
This recognition by EcoVadis aligns with Farnek’s strategic vision to drive environmental sustainability within the facilities management sector. Recent initiatives include the use of Neutral Fuels’ B7 blend biodiesel, resulting in a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from their transport fleet, and the launch of PowerTek, a digital platform designed to cut emissions in the hotel sector.
