WHP, a supplier of design and build services for cleanroom, clean manufacturing solutions and complex process systems, has been awarded the EcoVadis gold rating for sustainability.
The Gold rating not only puts WHP within the top 5% of companies measured by EcoVadis, but also places them in the top 7% within the Engineering and Construction sectors.
To decide company ratings, the EcoVadis CSR analysis system assesses 21 criteria across four themes of environment, fair labour practices, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. WHP submitted data relating to CSR practices across its businesses to support these themes.
