Active celebrates a significant achievement in sustainability, having been awarded a Silver Medal rating by EcoVadis, the globally renowned sustainability assessor, on March 18th, 2025. This prestigious recognition places Active Tunnelling in the top 15% of companies worldwide for sustainability and carbon management, marking a milestone for the company in its commitment to environmental and social responsibilities.

The EcoVadis rating evaluates companies based on their sustainability management system across three main areas: policies, actions, and results, spanning four critical aspects: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Active Tunnelling’s success in this assessment highlights its dedicated approach to sustainability, encompassing strong policies, actionable initiatives, and measurable outcomes that prioritize ecological and social well-being.

Central to Active Tunnelling’s sustainability strategy are six pillars that address both environmental and social factors, emphasizing the company’s commitment to exceed mere regulatory compliance. This approach involves engaging with employees, clients, and the supply chain to integrate sustainable practices across the business comprehensively. In 2025, Active Tunnelling has further advanced its sustainability agenda by leveraging digital tools for automated data collection and reporting, thus enhancing decision-making processes. The emphasis on knowledge sharing and skill development among its workforce stands out as a vital component of the company’s strategy to foster sustainable operations and project delivery.

Linda Johnson, CEO at Active Tunnelling, reflected on the achievement as a testament to the company’s collective dedication to embedding sustainability into every aspect of its operations. She underscored the importance of operating sustainably in partnership with stakeholders and reaffirmed the company’s determination to contribute positively to environmental conservation and societal well-being. Moreover, Johnson highlighted the valuable insights gained from EcoVadis’ assessment, which will guide Active Tunnelling’s continuous efforts to enhance its sustainability performance further.
