At the Group level, RS has retained its EcoVadis Platinum rating for 2026, placing the company in the top 1% of more than 150,000 businesses globally and underscoring strong progress against its ESG 2030 action plan. The rating reflects excellence across Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, and remains a key commercial differentiator, influencing major tenders and customer decisions. Despite the challenge of improving at this level, we increased our Group score with notable gains in Environment and Ethics, demonstrating continued, organisation-wide commitment to embedding sustainability into our operations.
In 2025/26, RS France achieved a noticeable rise in its EcoVadis score for People & Human Rights, reflecting the organisation’s social maturity. The increase is due to RS France's dedicated work to strengthen working conditions, health and safety practices, human rights protections, and social dialogue. Enhanced D&I initiatives, robust training programmes, and reinforced supplier oversight further supported this improvement, helping to secure Platinum certification for RS France.
Achieving an EcoVadis Platinum rating for the fourth consecutive year is a tremendous achievement and something we can all be incredibly proud of. It reflects the collective effort, collaboration and action happening across every region and function. The progress our teams are driving is delivering meaningful benefits for our people, customers, suppliers and communities. It shows how we’re truly living our values — working as one team, delivering brilliantly, doing the right thing, and helping to make every day better."
