Corporate
Over the past months, three divisions of Beaulieu International Group (B.I.G.) have been recognized with top-tier EcoVadis medals, reflecting the strength of B.I.G.’s sustainability strategy and its consistent delivery across different business units. B.I.G. Yarns achieved EcoVadis Platinum in November 2025, followed by Beaulieu Fibres earning Platinum in December 2025, and Beauflor Europe receiving Gold in early 2026. Together, these milestones demonstrate B.I.G.’s deep commitment to responsible operations, sustainable innovation, and transparent value creation throughout the Group.
EcoVadis: the global benchmark for sustainable business
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. More than 150.000 companies across industries and regions use the platform to benchmark performance, respond to buyer requirements, and strengthen sustainability practices.
Ratings are based on detailed documentation review, source analysis, and a tailored assessment covering seven indicators across 21 criteria. These are organized into four themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Why these medals matter to our customers and partners
For customers and business partners, EcoVadis ratings offer an independent, globally recognized proof point of how responsibly a company operates. By earning high EcoVadis scores, B.I.G. provides its partners with a level of transparency and accountability that removes uncertainty and makes supplier selection easier and more reliable.
Because EcoVadis assessments are renewed every 12 months, partners can trust that the performance they see is current, verified, and continuously improving. This enables them to:
- Confidently meet their own sustainability and net-zero commitments, supported by suppliers who can demonstrate measurable progress.
- Reduce risk in their value chain by working with a partner whose practices are benchmarked against more than 150.000 companies worldwide.
- Strengthen their compliance and reporting, using B.I.G.’s verified results as part of their own ESG documentation.
For potential customers, strong EcoVadis results offer certainty that choosing a B.I.G. division is not only a technical or commercial decision, but a responsible and future proof one.
By making our performance visible and externally validated, we help partners operate with confidence - reinforcing our mission to shape value that last.
