Belvoir Rail has been awarded an EcoVadis Bronze Medal following its latest sustainability assessment, completed in November 2025.
EcoVadis assessments review 21 sustainability criteria across four themes: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. Belvoir Rail achieved an overall score of 67 out of 100 and a 77th percentile rank. The Bronze Medal is awarded to companies performing in the top 35 percent of those assessed by EcoVadis.
Why we chose to complete an EcoVadis assessment
We chose EcoVadis because we saw a clear benefit for our customers and partners. It provides an independent benchmark of how we manage sustainability across the business and it helps strengthen confidence in our governance, ethics and supply chain controls.
For organisations working in the UK rail industry, assurance matters. Customers need suppliers who can evidence robust processes, not just good intent. EcoVadis gives a structured way to show how we manage expectations across key areas of responsible business practice.
What we improved as part of the process
Preparing for the assessment gave us a useful opportunity to review what we already had in place and where we could strengthen it. As part of this work, we added new policies and refreshed existing controls. We also reviewed how we gather evidence across the business so that we can report clearly and consistently.
We will use the feedback from the assessment to guide continuous improvement over time.
What this means for customers
This assessment shows we are committed to building a serious and responsible business for the long term. It gives customers added confidence in our approach to governance, ethics and supply chain controls expected of a trusted partner in the UK rail supply chain.
The most significant difference customers will notice is that we now have a recognised benchmark that can be used as part of supplier assurance. It supports open, evidence based conversations about how we operate and how we continue to improve.
“We are delighted to receive this EcoVadis Bronze Medal, which recognises our commitment to meaningful sustainability initiatives. We pursued EcoVadis to benchmark our approach independently and provide customers with confidence through robust, transparent practices. In the rail industry, stewardship matters, and we will continue strengthening the disciplined processes that underpin safe, reliable delivery,” said Trevor Beale, Operations and Quality Director, Belvoir Rail.
