PARIS — (October, 2019) — EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, has been named a National Winner for France in this year’s European Business Awards, one of the world’s largest cross-industry, cross-border business competitions.

EcoVadis made it to the final round of judging for the Inflexion European Entrepreneur of the Year category, which evaluates contenders across various criteria, including vision, a persevering approach to enterprise expansion, and acting as an inspiration to others to achieve greater business success.

“EcoVadis is honored to be recognized and in the company of so many influential European organizations,” said Frederic Trinel, co-founder and co-CEO of EcoVadis. “Our mission is to enable global organizations to reduce risk, drive performance and improve environmental and social outcomes with trusted sustainability ratings, and this award is a testament to our entire team’s commitment to that end.”

The provider made it through two judging rounds, including competing against 157 other firms in the first evaluation phase.

“This is a significant achievement and EcoVadis is an outstanding leader in their field. To be chosen as a National Winner means you show great innovation, ethics and success and are one of the best businesses in Europe.
