JAS Achieves Platinum Medals in EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment

In a significant achievement reflecting its commitment to sustainability, JAS has been awarded the Platinum Medal in the 2026 EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment. This recognition places JAS in the top 1% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis, widely considered one of the most reliable providers of sustainability ratings worldwide.

Sustainability remains a core focus at JAS, encompassing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects throughout its operational and supply chain activities. The company collaborates closely with its clients to assess transport-related emissions and devise practical strategies for their reduction. This includes optimizing routes and capacities, deploying lower-emission transport options, and introducing certified biofuels—initiatives aimed at not only decreasing emissions but also promoting environmentally responsible practices.

JAS's commitment extends to the welfare of its employees, emphasizing health and safety standards, strengthening business ethics, and working with suppliers to promote responsible practices across its entire supply chain. This multi-faceted approach has yielded impressive results, as reflected in the recent EcoVadis assessment.

EcoVadis assesses companies on four key performance areas, and JAS successfully improved its score in each category this year:

• - Environment: 95/100 (up from 91)
• - Labor and Human Rights: 88/100 (up from 74)
• - Ethics: 87/100 (up from 83)
• - Sustainable Procurement: 86/100 (up from 72)

The company's environmental performance remains its strongest asset. EcoVadis particularly acknowledged JAS's scientifically validated goals for renewable energy sourcing, energy efficiency improvements, and the expansion of lower-emission logistics solutions. Furthermore, JAS's greenhouse gas emissions are subject to independent verification, enhancing the credibility of reported data.

The most significant advancements were noted in the realms of labor and human rights, along with sustainable procurement. These improvements demonstrate JAS's constant dedication to employee health, safety, and well-being, as well as its progress in responsible supply chain management. Andrea Goeman, JAS's Senior Vice President of Sustainability, expressed pride in the company's achievements, stating, "Achieving Platinum status and improving in every category illustrates that our sustainability approach is becoming increasingly integral to our daily operations. This recognition belongs to our global teams and partners who work alongside us."

While this ranking acknowledges substantial strides forward, JAS acknowledges that much work remains. The EcoVadis score of JAS has seen a remarkable rise from 60 in 2024, to 79 in 2025, and finally reaching 89 in 2026. For clients and partners, this rating offers a transparent perspective on how JAS addresses sustainability risks and responsibilities. It also reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen practices that help clients make informed decisions regarding their supply chains.
