Achieving Gold is a rigorous process. It requires transparency, accountability, and consistent performance across multiple areas of the business. For K2, this assessment provides an independent benchmark against which we measure our ESG progress and challenge ourselves to do better.

This year’s result is particularly meaningful. Having previously achieved Gold and then moved to Silver, we used that outcome as an opportunity to reflect, learn, and strengthen our approach. The return to Gold reflects focused action, improved governance, and a renewed emphasis on embedding sustainability into how we operate and how we deliver global mobility programmes.

Linda Rafferty commented:

“Achieving EcoVadis Gold is a proud moment for our business. It reflects the commitment our people bring to their work, the high standards we set for ourselves and our partners, and the responsibility we feel towards our clients and the global talent we support. Sustainability is not separate from our service, it sits at the heart of everything we do, shaping how we build trust, protect people and deliver better outcomes every day.”

For our clients, EcoVadis Gold provides independent assurance that sustainability is embedded within our business and partner ecosystem. It supports their own ESG objectives and reinforces confidence that global mobility programmes are delivered responsibly, ethically, and with care for people and communities.

For relocating employees and their families, this recognition reflects our commitment to fair treatment, wellbeing, and support throughout the relocation journey, from programme design and policy guidance to destination and settlement services.

EcoVadis Gold is an important milestone, but it is not the destination. Our ESG journey continues to evolve as expectations rise and responsibilities grow. We remain committed to strengthening environmental practices, supporting our people and partners, operating ethically, and contributing positively to the communities we serve.

This recognition reinforces our direction of travel and our belief that responsible global mobility delivers better outcomes for organisations and the people who move for them.
