Sustainability also applies to your HR supplier

A few years ago, sustainability was a topic addressed by only a handful of companies. Today, it is being questioned by business partners, reviewed by labor inspections, and increasingly considered by customers. Even a staffing agency becomes part of how your company is perceived externally.

“We’ve secured a new contract with a large manufacturer, but they need us to complete a sustainability questionnaire. They’re also asking about the agencies we work with. Can we handle it?”

This situation is no longer limited to large corporations. It affects manufacturing companies, logistics providers, and smaller businesses supplying larger players. Even if ESG reporting does not directly apply to you, sustainability is becoming a widely discussed topic that requires attention.

In 2025, SYNERGIE underwent the EcoVadis assessment – one of the most widely recognized global sustainability rating standards.
The result? A gold medal, a score of 81/100, and placement in the 97th percentile within the staffing industry.

A partner that strengthens your reputation

This recognition brings three clear benefits:

You have solid backing: When a client sends a questionnaire or conducts an audit, you don’t need to verify us yourself. You have access to independent third-party data ready to use.
You reduce risk: Labor inspections are becoming stricter and transparency requirements are increasing. Working with a partner whose processes have been thoroughly audited gives you confidence.
Higher HR standards: Employment contracts, fair compensation, data protection, and prevention of illegal employment are all part of the assessment. The gold medal confirms alignment with international standards.

As Branislav Jančuška, Managing Director of SYNERGIE CZ&SK, puts it:
“Our clients gain a partner they don’t need to justify, but can confidently refer to.”

Sustainability across all aspects of cooperation

The EcoVadis assessment evaluates four key areas. SYNERGIE achieved the following results:

Labor & human rights (85/100)
A critical area for most clients. Whether it’s temporary staffing, direct recruitment, or international hiring, the audit confirmed certified systems (ISO 45001, SA8000), transparent contracts, and anti-discrimination mechanisms.
Sustainable procurement (91/100)
Our highest score. We extend sustainability to our suppliers by training them, evaluating them, and integrating social and environmental criteria into contracts.
Ethics (72/100)
Includes anti-corruption policies and data protection – increasingly important topics for multinational companies.
Environment (71/100)
Covers emissions reporting across all three scopes, ISO 14001 certification, and participation in the CDP program.

Consistent standards across locations

If you are part of an international group, staffing agency selection is often handled centrally. The advantage is that the EcoVadis gold medal applies globally to the entire SYNERGIE group, ensuring consistent standards across Prague, Bratislava, and beyond.

“Receiving the EcoVadis gold medal is not just an achievement, but confirmation that our processes are built on solid foundations. For clients, this means fewer questions during audits, less administration, and greater certainty,” adds Branislav Jančuška.

We value this recognition because it reflects real processes that have met one of the most rigorous international assessments.
