Sustainability

EcoVadis and responsible supply

RPC was awarded a Bronze Medal in the annual EcoVadis ratings with an overall score of 58% (up from 53%), 69th percentile. The assessment covers four modules — Environment, Sustainable Procurement, Labour & Human Rights, and Ethics. The improvement came from additional policies, monitoring of environmental objectives and targets, and adding sustainability and corporate social responsibility topics to RPC's Employee Awareness Training Safety Hub.

RPC publishes a Code of Conduct for Suppliers & Subcontractors, and in 2026 our Technical Services Manager presented a case study at the Composites Australia Conference on implementing the new limits for styrene exposure.
