Bekina awarded EcoVadis 2022 Gold sustainability rating

Sustainability is key to Bekinas long-term strategy, therefore EcoVadis is the perfect tool for Bekina to evaluate ourselves at the level of social, environmental and economic performance. We are very proud to announce that we have been awarded a Golden EcoVadis Medal at the first participation. This internationally recognized sustainability rating places Bekina among the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis. This Ecovadis reward is a great recognition, but only the beginning of an exciting journey.

The ISO 14001 certificate guarantees the implementation of an effective environmental management system by an organization. This means that Bekina NV manages the environmental aspects associated with her activities in a structured manner.

Not many organizations of our size apply ISO 14001, but for Bekina NV sustainability and the reduction of the impact on our environment are a priority. That’s why we believe it’s important to invest in this domain.
