Customers, business partners and international supply chains expect transparent processes and robust evidence. As a consultancy specialising in environmental and sustainability issues, 1cc supports companies in putting these requirements into practice. Our guiding principle is this: we apply to ourselves the same standards we recommend to our clients. That is why we have had our own sustainability performance assessed by EcoVadis. What EcoVadis assesses EcoVadis is an internationally recognised sustainability rating system used particularly in the B2B sector and within supply chains. Four areas are assessed: - Environment - Labour and human rights - Ethics - Sustainable procurement Unlike traditional ISO certification, EcoVadis does not certify a management system. Instead, a company’s sustainability performance is assessed on the basis of defined criteria and supporting evidence. This is becoming increasingly important for businesses. Sustainability criteria are being incorporated more and more frequently into procurement processes, tenders and supplier qualification procedures. **Applying our own standards** For 1cc, the EcoVadis rating is a logical step. We are familiar not only with the requirements of a rating, but also with the practical task behind it: structuring existing processes, identifying gaps and efficiently compiling the necessary evidence. That is why our aim is to create structures that work in the long term. **Continuously developing sustainability** With the EcoVadis rating, we are creating additional transparency for customers and business partners and further developing our own sustainability strategy. For us, the rating is not an end in itself. Our aim remains to understand regulatory and market requirements at an early stage, translate them into efficient processes and embed sustainability permanently within the company – both for our customers and for ourselves. Are you dealing with sustainability requirements, or other compliance topics? Feel free to get in touch. We’re happy to help you assess the relevant requirements and translate them into practical, efficient processes for your business.  [![Contact us](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/25955255/6c19cc72-7b0a-4bb6-99da-3f2ec2a7e5e3.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/25955255/6c19cc72-7b0a-4bb6-99da-3f2ec2a7e5e3) [![Share on facebook](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/facebook-color.png?width=24&name=facebook-color.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/2355686/admin/) [![Share on linkedin](https://7528302.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528302/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/linkedin-color.png?width=24&name=linkedin-color.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/2355686/admin/) [![Share on twitter](https://7528304.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528304/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/twitter-color.png?width=24&name=twitter-color.png)](https://twitter.com/1cc_consulting) [![Share on email](https://7528311.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528311/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/email-color.png?width=24&name=email-color.png)](mailto:info@1cc-consulting.com) ### Archives - [August 2026 (3)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/archive/2026/08) - [July 2026 (9)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/archive/2026/07) - [June 2026 (8)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/archive/2026/06) - [May 2026 (6)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/archive/2026/05) - [April 2026 (7)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/archive/2026/04) ### Subscribe to our blog and never miss news again [Imprint](https://1cc-consulting.com/en/imprint/)     |     [Privacy Policy](https://1cc-consulting.com/wp-content/uploads/datenschutz_en.pdf)     |     [Data Processing Agreement](https://1cc-consulting.com/wp-content/uploads/1cc_Data-Processing-Agreement.pdf)     |     [AGB](https://1cc-consulting.com/wp-content/uploads/1cc_GTC.pdf)     |     [1cc Reporting Tool](https://reporting.1cc-consulting.com/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2F)     |     [1cc Compliance Data](https://asp.selltec.de/go/onecc/home/community_login,l-en.html?_login_redirect=true)     |     [4 Square Return](https://4square-return.com/en) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Mona-Fee Kienle", "url" : "https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/author/mona-fee-kienle" }, "dateModified" : "2026-08-18T08:05:10.941Z", "datePublished" : "2026-08-18T08:05:10.000Z", "headline" : "Sustainability with substance: 1cc undergoes the EcoVadis assessment", "image" : [ "https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hubfs/1cc%20Blog%20(1200%20x%20628%20px)%20(19)-1.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/sustainability-with-substance-1cc-undergoes-the-ecovadis-assessment", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hubfs/Logo/1cc_Logo_RGB_freigestellt.png" }, "name" : "1cc GmbH" } } ```
