“Achieving the Bronze Medal from EcoVadis places Merrychef in the top 35% of all companies assessed globally and in the top 17% of companies rated within the Manufacture of Special-Purpose Machinery industry - an incredibly impressive achievement for our business. Our industry is striving to assess and improve its ESG standpoint, and we now have a recognised score demonstrating our commitment to sustainability, and a plan to continue to move forwards and improve our position as we work towards the silver medal. Our Director of Total Quality & Business Excellence, David Sellars, along with his team have worked incredibly hard to achieve this medal and my thanks go to them for their dedication.
