NEC Again Earns ‘Gold’ Sustainability Rating

Chicago-based NEC Display Solutions, a provider of commercial LCD displays and monitors as well as digital and multimedia projectors, again receives the “Gold” Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating by EcoVadis, a leading evaluator of supplier sustainability. NEC has maintained the gold rating since 2012, and is ranked in the top 1 percent of all suppliers assessed.

EcoVadis claims to operate the first collaborative platform for rating and monitoring supplier sustainability. It assesses the CSR performance of companies with a methodology covering 180 purchasing categories, 150 countries and 21 CSR indicators grouped in four themes: environment, labor practices, fair business practices and sustainable procurement. More than 45,000 companies use the EcoVadis ratings platform, including NEC customers, when selecting their suppliers.

NEC says that this year, its business activities were rated particularly high in the environment and labor practices categories. The company also says it recognizes that maintaining a Gold CSR rating by EcoVadis since 2012 is the result of its continual efforts to ensure the sustainable development of society.
