Cirencester-based Prokura earns an EcoVadis Silver rating, placing in the top 6% of its industry for sustainability and ethical performance.
Cirencester-based supplier Prokura has secured an EcoVadis Silver Medal in its first formal sustainability evaluation. The assessment awards the company an overall score of 77 out of 100, positioning it in the top 6% of companies evaluated within its sector worldwide.
The benchmark score was driven by high marks in specific operational categories. Prokura logged 87 out of 100 for business ethics, placing it in the top 3% of assessed firms, alongside an 84 out of 100 score for environmental performance, which ranks in the top 4%. EcoVadis evaluates company performance across environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement standards, making it a key reference point for commercial supply chains.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For sparkies and electrical contractors purchasing supplies, a supplier's EcoVadis rating does not instantly alter the shelf price of cable, fixings, or consumer units. However, it alters supply chain risk. Independent contractors working on commercial developments, corporate fit-outs, or public sector housing are subject to strict corporate social responsibility metrics. Buying components sourced through accredited distributors with verified ethical and environmental ratings helps electrical contractors satisfy client supply-chain audits without extra paperwork.
The takeaway for electrical contractors is to keep track of distributor sustainability credentials. Using certified suppliers helps protect your business when bidding on larger commercial projects where ethical sourcing and environmental compliance are pre-requisites for getting approved on the sub-contractor list.
