27/01/2025

The Platinum Medal is the highest recognition granted by EcoVadis, placing Roca Group in the top 1% among more than 150,000 companies assessed globally.

Roca Group, a global leader in the design, production, and marketing of bathroom products, has received the highest recognition from EcoVadis, the world's most established standard for corporate sustainability ratings.


EcoVadis evaluates sustainability across 21 criteria in four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Over 150,000 companies from 185 countries have been assessed by the organization. The Platinum Medal is awarded exclusively to the top 1% of companies evaluated during the past year.


Receiving the Platinum Medal reflects the group’s strong commitment to embedding sustainability in all aspects of its business. "Being part of the top 1% worldwide is a significant recognition of our team’s work and the positive impact we are making globally. We see sustainability as an ongoing journey, and this achievement strengthens our determination to push boundaries, foster transformational change in the business world, and continue advancing toward a more sustainable future," explains Carlos Velázquez, Roca Group's Sustainability Director.


EcoVadis’ corporate sustainability ratings are based on international standards such as the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and ISO 26000. These ratings provide evidence-based performance analysis and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.


This recognition reinforces Roca Group's position as a leader committed to sustainable development and reaffirms the company’s purpose and performance in pursuing a triple positive impact on People, Planet, and Prosperity.
