PECO Pallet earns EcoVadis Silver sustainability rating

PECO Pallet, Inc., one of North America’s largest providers of rental pallet services to the beverage, grocery, and consumer products industries, has announced it been named a Silver Medal winner by EcoVadis, a globally recognized sustainability rating organization.

It’s the second year PECO has been awarded an EcoVadis Silver rating.  In comparison to other similar businesses, PECO improved its standing, rising to the top 74th percentile of Silver-rated companies.

PECO’s culture and management focus emphasizes a strong commitment to Environmental, Social and Governmental initiatives, which support PECO suppliers and customers in achieving their sustainability goals, and provides a positive, motivating workplace environment for employees, noted Joe Dagnese, PECO’s chief executive officer.

“We are very pleased and proud to have once again achieved an EcoVadis Silver rating,” Dagnese said. “This is a testament to our culture of sustainability, and through the commitment and focus of our employees, demonstrating how being a good steward of the environment also is an inclusive, complementary element of being a successful, enduring business.”

Pallets are the primary platform on which businesses stack, secure and ship products of all types in trucks, intermodal rail containers and other conveyance vehicles. PECO’s network serves a variety of businesses including big-box retailers, club stores, consumer products companies, grocers, agriculture, and local and regional distributors.

PECO Pallet operates North America’s second largest pallet rental network with some 90 pallet depots managing an inventory of some 25 million of its signature red, high-quality 9-block pallets.
