Nadel Achieves 2023 EcoVadis Silver Rating for Sustainability

May 24, 2023 – LOS ANGELES Nadel, a leading branded merchandise provider, receives the 2023 EcoVadis Silver Medal for exceptional sustainability achievements. This marks Nadel’s third consecutive year partnering with EcoVadis and places them in the top 25% of audited suppliers across various industries.

EcoVadis, the largest provider of trusted business sustainability ratings, conducts a comprehensive evaluation to assess how well companies incorporate sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility principles into their business. Based on four pillars – Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement — Ecovadis rates Nadel’s policies, actions, and results across all areas of operation.

Driven by its motto, “beyond branded merchandise,” Nadel has consistently pursued meaningful impact for environmental and social causes for many years. In 2021, Nadel established its Sustainability Council, comprised of ten leaders across the company’s global organization in order to benchmark their eco-forward vision. Reflecting on Nadel’s sustained dedication to sustainability and its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, Nadel's CEO, Craig Nadel, says, "This award is a significant milestone and a big step forward in Nadel’s ongoing journey to continuously enhance and optimize our ESG strategies, further solidifying our position as a sustainability leader in the industry."

In addition to the EcoVadis assessment and recognition, Nadel continues to seek opportunities to improve their ESG journey. They have taken the Climate Pledge, committing to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. Nadel also offsets carbon emissions on shipments through the CarbonFree Shipping Program and collaborates with the SME Climate Hub to drive more sustainability initiatives.

The upgrade from a bronze rating to a silver rating signifies Nadel's progress in their ESG efforts compared to the previous year. “This recognition signifies that we are moving in the right direction and reinforces our commitment to sustainability,” says Nadel’s CSO and member of the Sustainability Council, Debbie Abergel. “It is an exciting milestone that motivates us to continue our efforts and I eagerly anticipate the impactful works that lies ahead.”
