EcoVadis Sustainability Recognition

M-Cube proudly aligns itself with EcoVadis, one of the world’s largest and most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, boasting a global network of over 100,000 rated companies. EcoVadis employs a comprehensive evaluation system covering 21 CSR indicators across four main themes: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

In December 2022, after a thorough assessment of our policies, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), targets, and overall performance, EcoVadis  awarded M-Cube the  Bronze Medal. This recognition underscores our commitment to sustainability across various aspects of our business and serves as a testament to our dedication to responsible and ethical practices. We proudly view this achievement as a milestone in our ongoing journey towards greater environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and ethical governance.

Environment

At M-Cube, we are continually reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability.

All our actions, operations, and business practices are grounded in sustainability principles, thereby minimizing environmental impact.

 

Since 2022  we have partnered with Reforest’Action to offset our emissions by reforesting parts of the world.

So far, we supported reforestation programs across Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, China, and Brazil, planting 22,175 trees  storing approximately 3,326,250 tons of CO2.

We also strongly encourage sustainable mobility within the Group and are improving the monitoring of the company’s performance in waste management and pollution reduction through the implementation of indicators.

 

For the year 2022, the results obtained from the calculation of our carbon footprint are as follows:

Scope 1: 208 ± 31 tCO2e;

Scope 2: 109 ± 17 tCO2e;

Scope 3: 80,903 ± 15,725 tCO2e;

Total: 81,220 ± 15,773 tCO2e (with an estimated error of 19%).

Our goal is to reduce overall emissions following the implementation of our impact reduction plan and bring the assessment error as close to zero as possible through a dedicated data management project for monitoring activities relevant to sustainability.

This represents a further step in long-term sustainability, aiming to bring our company closer to the significant goal set for the next few years: to become a zero-carbon footprint company.
