In an era of increasing environmental awareness and corporate responsibility, the logistics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, embracing innovative sustainability practices and ethical standards. In recognition of these efforts, CEVA Logistics recently received a Gold Medal for its overall score of 76 out of 100 from EcoVadis in its annual performance assessment.

The Gold Medal achievement places CEVA in the top 5 percent of companies overall and the top 1 percent of the logistics industry. The score represents a 12-point improvement from 2023, highlighting CEVA’s continued progress in its CSR initiatives. The assessment evaluated CEVA’s sustainability performance in four key categories: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. CEVA scored particularly high in the Environment category, earning a score of 90 out of 100.

EcoVadis is the world’s largest provider of business-to-business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 130,000 rated companies. The organization assesses businesses’ sustainability performance by evaluating their policies, actions and results, along with input from third-party professionals and external stakeholders. EcoVadis aims to provide reliable, globally recognized sustainability ratings and insights, enabling companies to reduce risk, drive improvement and accelerate positive impact on our planet and society.

CEVA’s recognition from EcoVadis reflects its robust CSR program, which aligns closely with that of its parent company, the CMA CGM Group. The program focuses on three main commitments: Acting for Planet, Acting for People and Acting for Fair Trade. CEVA and the CMA CGM Group are committed to the decarbonization of their operations and aim to reach net zero by 2050. As a company with a strong CSR focus, CEVA is using innovation and collaboration to drive decarbonization through three main levers— its warehouses, its fleet and its low carbon solutions. Activities supporting these initiatives include reducing energy consumption through solar panels and LED lighting, updating the transportation fleet to electric and low carbon vehicles, and finally, offering low carbon fuel options and modal switch transportation alternatives in connection with its carrier partners. These efforts are reducing CEVA’s environmental impact. In 2023, CEVA’s carbon footprint decreased to 6.0 million tons, a reduction of 200,000 tons from 2022.
