Sustainable Procurement for the Built Environment: Service by Medallion Earns Silver EcoVadis Rating
Service by Medallion, a premier provider of integrated facility services, has once again earned a Silver rating from EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. This recognition places us in the top quartile of facility management companies assessed globally and reflects how our operational systems support measurable sustainability performance in the built environment.
This year’s rating reflects significant gains across every evaluated area: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, with an especially strong 20% year-over-year improvement in Sustainable Procurement. We use the EcoVadis framework not only to benchmark progress, but to guide investments that deliver real value for our customers, helping them meet regulatory requirements, reduce compliance burden, and achieve sustainability goals more efficiently.
“Our score and rating places us in the top category of facility management companies and is a great testament to our industry leadership in sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and Innovation”, said Prabhu Soundarrajan, Head of Corporate Development and Digital Sustainability.
Why It Matters to Procurement, Sustainability, and Facilities Teams
Whether you are managing a multi-site workplace, overseeing vendor risk, or supporting internal Sustainability reporting or compliance, this rating offers a verified benchmark of our performance.
As of January 1, 2026, companies with revenues over $1 billion in California must comply with SB253, mandating Scope 3 emissions disclosures for 2025. With this pressure growing across sectors, organizations are seeking vendor partners who already operate with verifiable accountability.
Medallion’s improved scores signal industry leadership:
- Clear alignment with sustainability and sourcing standards
- Third-party validation to support audit and reporting processes
- Reduced compliance risk and documentation workload
- A consistent, systems-based operations partner
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four key pillars: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement—rating over 130,000 companies worldwide. With Service by Medallion proudly serving Fortune 500 leaders in technology, biotech, and higher education, we carry both a significant responsibility and a powerful opportunity to drive positive change. By uniting our industry expertise, we deliver innovative facility solutions that not only elevate our clients’ operations but also help them achieve ambitious sustainability goals and stay ahead of an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
Service by Medallion’s most significant gain was a 20 percent improvement in Sustainable Procurement. This reflects more structured supplier reviews, integration of sustainability standards, and stronger documentation practices that align with evolving client expectations and industry sophistication.
