adi Group has achieved the EcoVadis Gold Rating for Sustainability! This places adi Group among the top 5% of over 130,000 businesses worldwide and in the top 2% of companies rated in the same industry.

EcoVadis recognises businesses that, through a formal assessment, have shown their ability to effectively address sustainability criteria, including environment, ethics, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement. This places us in the top 5% of businesses worldwide that have successfully demonstrated our adherence to sustainable practices, and in the top 2% of companies rated in the same industry.

Commenting on this milestone, CEO, Alan Lusty, said: “We are thrilled to have again achieved such a prestigious accreditation. Sustainability and social responsibility are something we have consistently prioritised as a business, and we are proud to see our continued efforts have wielded such a positive result. Earning this medal is a testament to our dedication to creating a sustainable and ethical business model that benefits our clients, employees, and communities.”

With over 34 years of industry experience, we integrate sustainability into our operations through a strategic focus on people, community, supply chain, environment, and diversity.

As part of our robust responsible business strategy, we have pledged to achieve Net Zero by 2045, electrify 50% of our new vehicle fleet by 2035, and transition to 100% electrification by 2040.

Among the key achievements that contributed to this accolade are a 5.29% reduction in carbon intensity per employee in 2023, the implementation of a Climate Change Policy aligned with the Paris Agreement, and a partnership with BP Target Neutral, having now offset over 11,500 tonnes of CO2e since 2015.

In addition to environmental initiatives, we are also leading the way in youth skills development with our award-winning Apprentice Academy and pre-apprenticeship programme, creating robust avenues into engineering for young students.

And, we are particularly active in the area of community well-being, having raised over £130,000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity to date as well as supporting other local charities by engaging in a plethora of fundraising activities.

This achievement complements other accolades received by us, including receiving the RoSPA Health and Safety Gold Medal Award and earning third place in Best Companies’ ‘Best UK Construction & Engineering Companies to Work For’ 2024 list
