In a significant sustainability milestone, TEAM Group is proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2025 EcoVadis Gold Medal, recognizing our continued excellence in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. This prestigious award comes on the heels of our 2024 Silver Medal win, earned during our inaugural year of ESG reporting—and marks an impressive leap into the top 5% of companies evaluated globally by EcoVadis.

A Leap in ESG Leadership During Earth Month

At TEAM, sustainability is more than a value—it’s a competitive advantage. Earning EcoVadis Gold during Earth Month underscores how our responsible sourcing, energy-efficient operations, and waste reduction programs are creating measurable value for our clients, employees, and communities across North America.

Why the EcoVadis Gold Rating Matters

EcoVadis is one of the world’s most trusted providers of corporate sustainability ratings, assessing over 130,000 companies across more than 180 countries. The EcoVadis Medal system is based on a rigorous evaluation of four core performance areas:

• Environment
• Labor & Human Rights
• Ethics
• Sustainable Procurement

Ratings are based not just on stated commitments—but on verified policies, actions, and outcomes. TEAM Group’s 2025 score places us in the 95th percentile globally, signaling both ESG maturity and continuous improvement across our operations.

As we mark Earth Month, this recognition reinforces how TEAM is driving meaningful change where it matters most—at the intersection of sustainability and industrial performance.

From Silver to Gold: Our Sustainability Evolution

In 2024, TEAM was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal, with an overall score of 66/100. At the time, this positioned us within the top 15% of companies—a significant accomplishment for our first year of ESG reporting.

In 2025, we raised the bar. Our Gold Medal score of 76/100 reflects a focused commitment to integrating sustainability into the heart of our operations and service delivery.

• Key advancements driving our ESG performance this year:
• Invested in energy-efficient equipment and smart fleet technology to reduce emissions and lower operational impact
• Integrated ESG KPIs into core business metrics and reporting systems for full visibility and accountability
• Strengthened green procurement practices and supplier audits to ensure compliance across the value chain
• Expanded environmental and ethics training across all departments, reinforcing a culture of responsibility
• Accelerated waste diversion and recycling programs at client facilities and TEAM worksites
• Aligned with global platforms like ISN, Supplier Assurance, and Drive Sustainability to validate our practices

These enhancements reflect more than a score—they represent a mature, self-performing sustainability strategy that scales with client needs and aligns with global standards.

Leading the Future of ESG in Facility Services

TEAM’s journey from Silver to Gold is more than a certification upgrade—it’s a reflection of who we are and where we’re going.

We are proving that sustainability and performance are not mutually exclusive, but mutually reinforcing. By aligning our operations with ESG best practices, we are helping clients meet regulatory expectations, build resilient operations, and fulfill their own commitments to sustainability.

This Earth Month, we celebrate not just what we’ve achieved—but the shared future we’re building. Together.

Because excellence without sustainability is incomplete—and leadership without accountability is just talk.
