Tosca achieves top 5% EcoVadis Gold rating for 2026 amid rising demand for tangible sustainability proof

Tosca has been awarded a Gold EcoVadis rating for 2026, a result that places the reusable packaging company among the top 5% of businesses assessed worldwide and reflects growing pressure on suppliers to prove their sustainability claims with hard evidence.

The recognition comes as European supply chains face tighter expectations around waste reduction, traceability and lifecycle performance. Companies are increasingly being asked not only to set environmental targets, but also...

According to EcoVadis, its assessment platform evaluates companies across four areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The service now covers more than 150,000 companies globally and is widely used by procurement teams to compare supplier performance and support responsible sourcing decisions.

Laurent Le Mercier, Tosca’s EMEA president, said sustainability was shifting from aspiration to day-to-day practice, with customers seeking clearer proof of impact. He argued that reusable operating models are gaining ground because they can reduce waste while supporting continuity and long-term value.

Tosca said its improved scores across all categories versus 2025 underline the role of its reusable plastic packaging and pooling systems in helping customers cut waste and strengthen circular supply chains. The company added that the rating validates sustainability performance in practical terms rather than as a purely reputational exercise.

The award follows a broader pattern across industry, with firms from engineering to manufacturing also highlighting EcoVadis Gold ratings as a marker of responsible business conduct. For Tosca, the result is likely to bolster its case that sustainability and operational efficiency can be pursued together rather than treated as competing goals.
