Projective Group awarded Bronze EcoVadis medal and placed in top 16% of management consultancies

London, 21st March 2023 – We’re proud to say that Projective Group has been awarded a Bronze medal and placed in the top 16% of management consultancies for sustainability performance, as rated by EcoVadis, a leading global provider of business sustainability ratings.

Projective Group aims to be a best-practice sustainability leader in the management consulting industry by embedding a comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy throughout our business. Our efforts to continually improve our sustainability performance match the expectations of our clients, employees, and other stakeholders.

Projective Group aims to be a best-practice sustainability leader in the management consulting industry by embedding a comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy throughout our business.

Over the last twelve months, three major milestones have been achieved:

• Bronze EcoVadis Medal: in our first EcoVadis submission, we were awarded a Bronze medal. Having placed at the top end of the ‘Bronze’ category (top 35-16% of peer companies), it is now addressing its improvement measures, aiming to achieve Silver by the end of the year.
• Net Zero Commitment: last year, we committed to achieving net zero across all emission scopes by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement. We are currently ratifying our process and targets through the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
• UN Global Compact: We have become a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, and are committed to upholding its ten principles spanning human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.

In addition to improving our own ESG performance, we have been supporting clients in addressing their ESG and Sustainable Finance challenges for several years. Like our clients, this year we will focus on delivering the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) as well as relevant improvement measures highlighted by the recent EcoVadis process.

In addition to improving our own ESG performance, we have been supporting clients in addressing their ESG and Sustainable Finance challenges for several years.

Will Thomas, ESG and Sustainable Finance Lead at Projective Group:

“Over the last couple of years, we have seen a significant increase in client demand for ESG & Sustainable Finance services as a direct result of regulations including the CSRD and SFDR. Through activities such as EcoVadis and commitments to net zero and the UN Global Compact, we are demonstrating that we are on the journey with them and take our own environmental and social impact very seriously.”

Stefan Dierckx, CEO of Projective Group:

“We are dedicated to becoming a force for good and have full support from our board and investors, Gimv, who drive a robust sustainability strategy and integrate ESG throughout their investment process. It won’t be easy, but together with our partners, employees, and wider communities, we are fully behind our ambitious sustainability goals as there is no question that it is the right thing to do.”
