United Media Services (UMS), an independent media agency in Romania, has earned the Platinum Medal, the highest level of recognition awarded by EcoVadis, a global platform that assesses companies’ sustainability performance. The result places the agency in the top 1% of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide in the 12 months preceding the award.
The EcoVadis methodology examines companies’ documented policies, actions and results across four areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. It covers 21 criteria and assesses how companies integrate responsible practices into their management and operations.
As brands incorporate sustainability criteria into the way they select and evaluate partners, how agencies run their own operations is becoming increasingly relevant. The United Media Services result gives clients an independent benchmark for how the agency addresses its responsibilities to people and the environment, as well as business ethics, in its own operations.
“Lasting partnerships are built in part on how we honour our business commitments. For us, that means backing up the commitments we make as an organization with action. The Platinum Medal reflects the team’s efforts to make the principles of responsibility we share with our partners part of our day-to-day work,” said Dana Bulat, CEO of United Media Services.
“A company’s sense of responsibility is reflected in how it manages its resources, meets its obligations and makes decisions. In this context, sustainability is an integral part of responsible business management. The Platinum Medal reflects a shared effort to establish clear processes and apply these principles consistently across the agency’s operations,” said Otilia Fezi, CFO of United Media Services.
