Pro-Ad secures global sustainability accolade

A promotional merchandise supplier has strengthened its sustainability credentials after achieving a top-tier global ESG rating.

Morpeth-based Pro-Ad has been awarded a Platinum rating by EcoVadis, placing the company in the top one per cent of organisations assessed worldwide. 

The recognition reflects its approach to environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

The assessment highlights Pro-Ad’s focus on reducing waste and pollution, cutting carbon emissions and embedding circular economy principles into everyday decision-making. 

These measures are designed to support responsible growth while delivering long-term value for partners and communities.

Alongside the rating, Pro-Ad has expanded its offering with two dedicated product hubs, one focused on eco-friendly solutions and the other on responsibly sourced, UK-manufactured products, helping customers put sustainability into practice.

Loren Nardini, Pro-Ad’s commercial director, said: “Our company is dedicated to delivering high-quality promotional merchandise while minimising our environmental impact, and therefore we are delighted to have achieved an EcoVadis Platinum rating.”

“For our clients, the rating provides added confidence that they’re working with a partner committed to responsible sourcing, strong governance and continuous improvement – helping to reduce supply chain risk and support ESG requirements.

“At ProAd, caring is at the top of our list of values. 

“This extends to our clients, as well as community projects that benefit others. 

“As a promotional products specialist, we go the extra mile to find solutions that create positive outcomes for everyone involved.

“Our drive to help inform better product choices goes beyond the pursuit of profit. 

“We believe that, to realise an ongoing contribution to our culture, economy and community, we must operate responsibly within our environment.”

Loren added: “By adhering to these principles, Pro-Ad is committed to helping create a sustainable future for our business, our partners and the world we share. 

“We’re happy to share our EcoVadis scorecard with procurement teams and discuss how we can support their own ESG goals.”
