‘We are honoured’
After being awarded the EcoVadis Bronze and Silver Medal in 2018 and 2019, respectively, G2 Ocean now receives the Gold Medal for the first time; the second-highest EcoVadis ranking level.
“We are honoured to receive the Gold medal from EcoVadis. This is an excellent recognition of companywide collaboration to create a positive impact across our value chain,” says Director Legal and Compliance Cecilie Koch Hatlebrekke who heads G2 Ocean’s sustainability ambition.
