Circular IT group achieves EcoVadis Platinum for the third year in a row

Why this achievement matters

EcoVadis does not reward promises; it rewards proven performance.

Each year, EcoVadis raises the bar, meaning companies must outperform their previous assessment to maintain their rating. Sustaining a Platinum score year after year is therefore far from easy and serves as a powerful confirmation that continuous improvement is deeply embedded in our DNA.

EcoVadis has assessed: 

• 150,000+ companies worldwide;
• Across 180+ countries;
• In more than 220 industries.

Only around 1,500 organisations globally achieve Platinum each year, and only a small fraction succeed in doing so three years in a row. For Circular IT group, this recognition represents the sum of everything we do, across the entire organisation and supply chain.

EcoVadis is a leading independent sustainability rating platform and recognised quality mark, assessing companies on  Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)  performance across core themes:

1. Environment
2. Labour
3. Human Rights
4. Ethics
5. Sustainable Procurement

Achieving Platinum confirms that Circular IT group consistently operates at the highest possible standard across all these areas.

Sustainability is not an initiative; it is who we are

Since 1993, Circular IT group’s end-user computing services have been active in supplying, refurbishing and disposing of IT equipment.

Today, circularity and sustainability are not projects or policies, but the foundation of our business model. From extending device lifecycles to responsible redeployment and recycling, we continuously improve how IT can be delivered in a cost-efficient, responsible and future-proof way.

Marco Woudenberg, Manager QHSE at Circular IT group, comments:

“I am extremely proud that we have achieved the EcoVadis Platinum status for the third time in a row.

While Circular IT group holds multiple certifications in areas such as Quality, Health & Safety and Information Security, the EcoVadis Platinum rating underlines what defines us most: making a measurable and lasting impact through circular IT solutions as part of our DNA.”

What this means for our customers and partners

Customers today face increasing pressure to decarbonise, comply with ESG regulations and protect their reputation, while remaining cost-efficient.

They are asking critical questions:

1. How do we become more sustainable?
2. Which partners can we trust?
3. How do we prove this to our stakeholders?

Our EcoVadis Platinum certification provides a clear answer, say’s Albert Dieke, Head of Bids & Proposals:

“Achieving EcoVadis Platinum for the third consecutive year is more than recognition; it’s independent proof that our sustainability management is proven, repeatable and trusted. For our customers, this consistency matters.

It gives procurement teams a verified sustainability baseline they can confidently use in ESG and CSRD reporting, shortens due diligence, and strengthens compliance.

In practice, it means lower supplier risk, transparent governance across our supply chain, and circular IT solutions that help organisations advance Scope 3 decarbonisation and regulatory goals, without compromising cost efficiency.

That is why many organisations not only choose Circular IT group, but stay: we deliver the combination of circular impact and procurement certainty they need.”

For customers and partners, this provides independent assurance that Circular IT group, a specialist in device lifecycle management and circular IT solutions, has its house in order. It confirms that we can be relied upon as a trusted, transparent, and high-performing partner. Across our entire supply chain, our performance is validated at the highest level in Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

This allows our customers to:

• confidently include Circular IT group in ESG reporting and compliance;
• reduce supplier risk and protect their reputation;
• work with a partner that not only talks about sustainability, but proves it;
• accelerate their own sustainability ambitions with cost-efficient circular IT solutions.

EcoVadis is a high standard and a true quality mark. For many organisations, it is a decisive reason to work with us and to procure from us.

At the same time, it enables us to engage with a new generation  of sustainability-driven customers , who expect nothing less than excellence.
