EcoVadis placed MKM in the top 15% of assessed companies worldwide.

MKM Building Supplies, the independent builder’s merchant, has achieved a Silver Medal in its third sustainability assessment by EcoVadis – with a score of 70/100, placing MKM in the top 15% of assessed companies worldwide.

EcoVadis provides the global standard for resilient, sustainable supply chains. MKM’s results highlight the progress it’s making on its journey to embed sustainability – or, as the company simply puts it, “Doing the Right Thing.”

MKM’s score has increased by 28 points since its first EcoVadis assessment, reflecting tangible improvements across environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

Rachel Constable, Head of ESG at MKM, said: “We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and achieving a Silver EcoVadis Medal is a great milestone for us. It shows that our commitment to doing the right thing – whether that’s working with suppliers to uphold strong ethical standards, supporting local communities and charities, or helping customers build greener – is making an impact. We know we’re not done yet, and this recognition just gives us more drive to keep improving.”

MKM sees this EcoVadis recognition as another step towards its wider ESG goals. Customer demand for sustainable solutions is rising, and regulations are evolving – so MKM is determined to keep supporting customers and communities every step of the way.

“Achieving Silver is a great result, but what matters most is the direction we’re heading,” added Constable. “We’re committed to keeping that momentum, challenging ourselves to do better, and working together with customers, suppliers, and communities to build a more sustainable future.”
