BM Caterers has been awarded a silver ‘medal’ by business sustainability rating, putting it in the top 15% of businesses rated by the platform.
BM’s score puts it in the 90th percentile of the more than 150,000 companies across 185 countries rated by EcoVadis. BM has been working with EcoVadis as part of a client contract since 2016 and has been accredited by EcoVadis since 2023.
EcoVadis supports BM with annual sustainability assessments, action plans, and access to resources, webinars and events, with the aim to drive sustainability results and reduce its carbon output through a robust carbon measuring strategy.
Elisabeth Ortiz, ESG lead at BM Caterers, said: “We are delighted to have secured yet another accreditation for our ESG initiatives. As a business that doesn’t sit still, we are constantly looking to improve policies, KPIs and reporting as necessary. It’s important that we all understand that we are on a constant journey to improve, change and adapt.”
One of BM’s most recent ESG initiatives has been to host quarterly roundtables with clients since September 2024. Roundtables so far have explored topics such as sustainable diets and responsible sourcing and are intended to provide a space for BM and its clients to discuss how they can achieve ESG goals together, how clients perceive different issues, what matters to them and what are their main challenges.
The catering business is delivering 11 ESG campaigns during 2025, focusing on a variety of social and environmental issues from Food Waste Action Week and Plastic Free July to Pride Month. All will be aimed at raising awareness among teams and customers, encouraging people to make more sustainable choices and build habits that align with their own and clients’ net zero goals. BM also runs regular ‘spotlight on sustainability’ roadshows at client sites to share what BM is doing to reduce its environmental impact with customers and engage teams.
The initiatives align with the wider ESG ‘Second Nature’ goals of BM’s parent company, WSH, including science-based targets for emissions reduction.
