Client intro
Lysander is a leading construction consultancy specialising in project management, cost consultancy, and development monitoring across the UK and Europe. With a strong commitment to responsible business practices and increasing expectations from clients, Lysander sought to strengthen their sustainability credentials through the EcoVadis assessment.
Aim
Lysander had already completed the EcoVadis process before coming to transformacy, receiving a Committed Badge, but wanted to progress to a formal medal rating. Their initial goal was to achieve Bronze, demonstrating clear improvement and meeting growing client requirements.
The business already held a wealth of relevant information and strong operational practices, but much of it wasn’t yet aligned to the EcoVadis scoring framework. The challenge was not about creating new activity, but about presenting existing work in the structured, evidence‑based format EcoVadis expects.
Solution
transformacy partnered with Lysander to guide them through the full EcoVadis improvement process, ensuring their existing strengths were accurately represented and fully recognised. This included:
-
Reviewing their previous submission and identifying high-value scoring opportunities
-
Mapping existing policies, procedures, and data to EcoVadis evidence requirements
-
Strengthening documentation to ensure clarity, completeness, and audit readiness
-
Translating Lysander’s operational practices into the “EcoVadis language” to maximise scoring potential
-
Providing targeted guidance to ensure every piece of evidence aligned with the methodology
Lysander’s team already had the right information – transformacy helped them present it in the way EcoVadis evaluates and rewards.
Results & Benefits
Lysander achieved a Silver Medal, significantly surpassing their original target of Bronze. This represents a major uplift from their previous Committed Badge and reflects both the strength of their existing practices and the clarity of the improved submission.
The result provides:
-
A recognised, externally validated sustainability rating
-
Stronger positioning in client procurement processes
-
A clear baseline for future improvement cycles
-
Confidence that their efforts are accurately represented and rewarded

Client Testimonial
"We needed help to achieve Bronze and with Caitlin's help and guidance we ended up achieving Silver which was fantastic!
transformacy played a key role in helping us achieve a Silver EcoVadis rating, having previously been awarded a Committed Badge. We already had the right information, but transformacy understood the EcoVadis framework and helped us present our data in the way EcoVadis expects. They truly spoke the EcoVadis language and translated our existing efforts into a successful outcome." - Michelle Roles, Executive Assistant
Inspiration
Lysander’s journey shows how powerful it can be when strong operational practice is matched with clear, structured evidence. Their leap from Committed Badge to Silver – when they originally aimed for Bronze – demonstrates the value of understanding the EcoVadis methodology and presenting existing work in a way that reflects its true impact. With a Silver rating now secured, Lysander is well positioned to continue strengthening their sustainability performance in future cycles.
