How transformacy helped Prokura achieve a Silver EcoVadis rating on their first submission, positioning it in the top 9% of all assessed companies.
Client intro
Prokura, formerly Cotswold Fasteners, is a specialist supplier serving industrial and manufacturing customers with a broad range of fastening products. Operating in a market where supply chain transparency and responsible sourcing are becoming increasingly important, Prokura sought to meet growing customer expectations and enhance its ESG reputation through the EcoVadis assessment.
Aim
As a first-time EcoVadis respondent, Prokura sought a structured approach to understanding and managing sustainability risks both within its operations and across its value chain. While the business already had a strong foundation of sustainable business practices, much of this had developed organically and not yet formally documented within a sustainability management system.
Like many SMEs, Prokura had limited internal resources and was balancing sustainability activities alongside day-to-day operational priorities. With many of its responsible business practices already in place, Prokura needed a partner that can help formalise existing practices, strengthen policies and governance structures, and build a robust sustainability management system aligned with the EcoVadis framework.
Solution
transformacy partnered with Prokura to guide them through the full EcoVadis targeted improvement process, ensuring their existing strengths were accurately represented and fully recognised. This included:
-
In-depth gap analysis and prioritised action plan detailing areas of strength and improvement opportunities.
-
End-to-end support across the entire EcoVadis assessment process, from document reviews and guidance to questionnaire completion to scorecard analysis.
-
Managing the assessment efficiently without creating a significant administrative burden.
The approach balanced speed with strategic depth, ensuring GS-FM met their immediate supplier requirement while also establishing a scalable framework for future submissions.

Client Testimonial
"When I started my EcoVadis journey it looked very daunting and almost impossible. Lei has made the whole process clear concise, and because of her we have managed to get a silver award. Lei guided me through step by step, and we worked together improving the company’s policies and procedures. Working with transformacy has been a pleasure very professional and the pricing is on point. I look forward to our continued relationship and achieving a gold. I would strongly recommend working with Lei and transformacy to help reach your EcoVadis goals.” - Mike Rorks, Operations Manager
