Why are people asking for ECOVADIS?

At Premier, we know ethical, environmental, labor, and human rights practices aren’t just “big company” issues—they matter to every trading partner. That’s why organizations are turning to sustainable procurement: to reduce risks, protect reputation, lower costs, and meet growing customer expectations.

The challenge is that few businesses have the resources to manage sustainability at scale. That’s where EcoVadis comes in the global standard for assessing and monitoring sustainability performance while driving continuous improvement.

We’ve received an EcoVadis assessment request so partners can see how Premier approaches sustainability. This gives them a trusted view of our efforts while giving us the opportunity to show leadership in the merchandise industry, align with global best practices, and demonstrate that our commitment goes beyond compliance. For us, it’s not just about ticking boxes it’s about building stronger partnerships and delivering merchandise solutions our customers can be proud of.
