o9 Ranks Among the Top 2 Percent of Companies Reviewed by the Global Assessment Platform

o9, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, today announced that it has been awarded a Gold Medal by EcoVadis, a globally recognized assessment platform that evaluates businesses’ sustainability practices across multiple categories. This marks the second consecutive year o9 has achieved Gold status, underscoring the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its operations and solutions.

o9 began its EcoVadis journey in 2021 and has consistently improved its sustainability management system each year. In 2023, the Company earned its first Gold Medal. This year’s award places o9 in the top 2 percent of all organizations assessed by EcoVadis, which evaluates performance across four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement. The recognition is particularly noteworthy as it comes during a year when EcoVadis introduced stricter evaluation criteria, further demonstrating o9’s ability to adapt and improve its sustainability practices.

Since the last assessment, o9 has made significant strides across multiple areas. The company achieved a 10-point improvement in the environmental category, driven by the broader deployment of sustainability measures and certifications, including ISO 14001. Additionally, a 20-point increase in the sustainable procurement category reflects enhanced policies, stronger supplier engagement, and comprehensive reporting practices. Currently, o9 is just one point shy of Platinum status and is committed to continuously improving over the coming year to reach this goal and solidify its position as a leader in sustainability.

“At o9, sustainability is not just a goal. It is a fundamental part of our mission to transform businesses while creating a better planet,” said Igor Rikalo, President and COO, o9. “Receiving the EcoVadis Gold Medal for the second consecutive year reflects the progress we’ve made and inspires us to aim even higher. We remain committed to advancing our sustainability journey and helping our clients achieve their ESG goals through innovative solutions and transformative practices.”
