Case Study: Ono Packing Company Limited achieves sustainability recognition with EcoVadis

How Ono Packing Made Sustainability a Top Priority With EcoVadis

Ono Packing Company Limited, a Japanese logistics SME, faced the challenge of responding to increasing customer demands for verified sustainability performance. Prompted by a request from a major business partner in the medical sector, the company needed to undergo a credible third-party assessment but lacked dedicated personnel for such an initiative. They turned to the vendor EcoVadis to undergo its sustainability assessment service.

The solution from EcoVadis provided a framework for Ono Packing to evaluate and improve its practices. By integrating the assessment work with its existing ISO management system and incentivizing employee education, the company achieved a Bronze Medal in 2022 and improved to a Silver Medal in 2023. EcoVadis’s scorecard helped identify key areas for improvement, such as greenhouse gas emissions, leading to the development of a new data tracking system. The results included strengthened trust with existing global customers and a new competitive advantage for securing future business.
