As organisations adapt their operations to become more sustainable, EcoVadis is recognising those going above and beyond to make meaningful change  – including food and drink giant Coca-Cola Europacific Partners.

Across global markets, business priorities have shifted in recent years, with sustainability awareness and consumer expectations reshaping strategic direction. The companies highlighted by EcoVadis stand out for their excellence in sustainable procurement and their commitment to transparency across value chains.

Through its ratings, risk and carbon management tools and e-learning platform, EcoVadis supports sustainable growth that delivers positive global impact.

At the EcoVadis Sustain 2026 conference in Paris, the company announced the winners of its tenth annual Sustainability Achievement Awards, recognising businesses with robust procurement programmes and individuals championing sustainability within their organisations.

“This year’s winners demonstrate that sustainable procurement is no longer about policy, it’s about performance,” says Pierre-François Thaler, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of EcoVadis.

“From bold transparency and human rights integration to scaling impact across global supply networks, these leaders are proving that sustainability, when embedded into core business strategy, becomes a powerful driver of resilience and long-term value. We are proud to celebrate their leadership and the measurable impact they are creating.”

The awards recognise excellence across four categories: Best Mature Program in Sustainable Procurement, Best New Program in Sustainable Procurement, Outstanding Program Management, and Outstanding Sustainability Leadership.

Leading people in procurement

The ceremony honours individuals driving real progress in procurement sustainability.

Outstanding Program Management — Winner: Vitanya Keary, Global Procurement Sustainability Manager, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners

This award recognises exceptional personal leadership in advancing a sustainability initiative. Since 2018, Vitanya Keary has led Coca-Cola’s EcoVadis implementation, enhancing supplier collaboration and engagement during post-merger integration. Her ability to align stakeholders around a shared sustainability vision and effectively harness EcoVadis IQ tools distinguished her achievements.

Vitanya says: “Honoured to see our work recognised by EcoVadis. This achievement reflects the collective effort of both our internal CCEP teams, as well as our Supply Partners collaborating together to advance sustainable procurement and strengthen responsible practices across our supply chain.”

Outstanding Sustainability Leadership — Winner: Filip Orlinski, ESG Director, Caldic BV

Recognised for advancing sustainable management systems, Filip Orlinski led ESG development across Caldic’s operations, delivering the company’s first comprehensive GHG inventory and improving governance and transparency.

“This recognition is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of our teams across all regions and to the strong partnerships we’ve built with suppliers and customers,” says Orlinski. “I’m especially proud of our regional ESG leads, who continue to elevate our performance while driving measurable impact at every level of our operations.”

He also supported Caldic entities through improved documentation, alignment, supplier engagement, and follow-up on corrective actions.

As consumer behaviour increasingly favours environmentally responsible brands, these winners are not only enhancing reputation but also building long-term resilience through sustainability-led strategies.

Climate-friendly companies

The programme awards celebrate the businesses making significant strides in sustainable procurement.

Best Mature Program in Sustainable Procurement — Winner: Schneider Electric

This category honours long-term leadership and innovation in procurement programmes that demonstrate measurable impact and organisational integration. Schneider Electric earned the title for its mature, scalable, and consistent approach to sustainable procurement. The company’s ambitious supplier roadmap, combined with transparent public disclosure, showcases how sustainability leadership can be embedded throughout an enterprise.

“This recognition means a great deal to us because it celebrates something fundamental to who we are – our belief that sustainable procurement is essential to build a better future,” says Christophe Quiquempoix, VP Sustainable Procurement at Schneider Electric.

Best New Program in Sustainable Procurement — Winner: SiegwerkThis award honours companies that have recently launched procurement initiatives with long-term potential, strong internal alignment, and active supplier engagement.

Siegwerk was distinguished for prioritising deep sustainability practices over surface-level compliance, embedding human rights principles as a core part of its approach.

The programme stands out for its openness in engaging complex supplier challenges and its commitment to transparency.

“Driving sustainability in supply chains has become a business imperative, not only due to customer expectations and legislation, but also because it is one of the most effective ways to build the resilience needed in today’s rapidly changing world,” says Cathleen Hansohm, Global Supplier Sustainability Manager at Siegwerk. “By setting the right priorities, Siegwerk is driving real change that goes far beyond reporting or meeting compliance requirements.”
