Case Study: Rajratan achieves a competitive edge with EcoVadis assessments

How EcoVadis Assessments Provided Rajratan A Competitive Edge

Rajratan, a leading manufacturer of tire bead wires with factories in India and Thailand, was initially focused on operational efficiency but lacked a formalized approach to sustainability. Major clients like Bridgestone and Continental Tire requested they complete an EcoVadis assessment, revealing that while the company had sustainable practices, they were not properly documented, which posed a challenge for formal recognition and international business competitiveness.

By implementing the EcoVadis assessment and rating service, Rajratan was guided to formalize its sustainability policies and document its evidence. The solution from EcoVadis provided structure and a clear path for improvement, leading to a Bronze Medal rating, a significant increase in female factory operators from 15% to 40%, and enhanced operational resilience. The EcoVadis process ultimately became a major selling point, instilling confidence in their global customers and providing a competitive edge.
