ATLANTA, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VDart, a leading global talent management and technology firm, recently achieved a significant milestone in its sustainability commitment journey by receiving the prestigious Bronze Medal Certification from EcoVadis, the world's most trusted Business Sustainability Ratings Agency.

The EcoVadis Medals are awarded to companies that have successfully completed the EcoVadis assessment process and demonstrated a commendable management system that effectively addresses a wide range of sustainability criteria, as outlined in the EcoVadis methodology.

This evaluation framework evaluates companies in areas such as environmental impact, labor practices, human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Companies that receive EcoVadis Medals must have demonstrated a solid commitment to sustainability and have implemented effective measures to ensure that their business operations align with global sustainability standards.

Such recognition is essential as it serves as a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to sustainability and sends a positive message to its stakeholders, including customers, investors, and employees. It also serves as a benchmark for the company to continually improve its sustainability practices and stay ahead of the curve in its respective industry.

VDart has emphasized that its commitment to ESG practices has been led by its vision and purpose to be at the forefront of sustainable practices and innovation while striving to fulfill obligations as a socially responsible entity that operates to benefit both the business, its people, and the planet.

"The EcoVadis Bronze Medal is a remarkable achievement for VDart, and we are both thrilled and honored," said Sidd Ahmed, the President and CEO of VDart Group of Companies. "This award is a result of our undeterred focus on investing in ESG early on. As an organization, our ESG strategy and practices have been guided by our higher purpose of transforming the trajectory of lives, which serves as our compass. This Bronze Medal is a testament to our long-term vision for our organization to thrive for years to come and the true intent of our ESG policies centered on serving the people and the planet led by our purpose."

VDart has been associated with Accenture, one of the top professional services organizations in the world, by being one of the first suppliers to be mentored in Accenture's inaugural Sustainability Mentorship Program in 2020 – the Diverse Supplier Development Program (DSDP). This mentorship has helped VDart develop its sustainability roadmap by adopting and implementing 5 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and reducing carbon footprints as part of their sustainability commitments. VDart is also a participant member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative that works to transform the world through principled business.

Oliver Sam, Vice President, People Strategy & Transformation, said, "ESG has been our pivotal strategy in shaping the future of the organization; our goal in the last few years has been to realize the fullest value of ESG within and outside of the organization. In this context, I would like to thank Accenture for their intentional mentoring in helping us set up our ESG roadmap through their Diverse Supplier Development Program (DSDP). We are especially thankful to Nedra Dickson, Managing Director, Global Supplier Diversity and Sustainability, Accenture, Jan Accornero, the Supply Chain Sustainability Associate Manager, Accenture, and Gilbert Campbell, Founder & CEO of Volt Energy, who guided us to craft our ESG strategy. I am extremely grateful to the VDart Leadership & the ESG team, who continue to champion our ESG efforts. The EcoVadis Bronze Medal is a very proud moment for us. We are strongly committed to make ESG our fabric of our purpose and engagement."

One of VDart's many sustainability programs and initiatives has been the Global Women Leadership Initiative (GWLI), launched in 2019 to accelerate achieving its gender diversity goal of 35% women in leadership positions by 2025. VDart has also partnered with the Hope Foundation, AG Rhodes Health & Rehab, Hands on Atlanta, and other charity programs that support the health and wellbeing of people.

"We take pride in achieving the EcoVadis Bronze Medal in our initial endeavor. This milestone marks the beginning of our extensive sustainability journey. Our commitment remains steadfast—to be a responsible corporate citizen and actively contribute to a more sustainable world," said Dhaarini Srinivasan, Global Sustainability Lead of VDart Inc.
