5 Faves: Spring Gardening Swaps (That Actually Make a Difference)

Spring gardening has a way of turning into a reset—new plants, fresh soil, a trip (or three) to the garden center. And while there’s nothing wrong with starting fresh, a more sustainable approach isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing a few things more thoughtfully.

Small, practical shifts can add up over time, and gardening is no different. Whether you’re working with a backyard, a few raised beds, or a couple of containers on a patio, these five swaps are simple ways to approach the season with a little more intention.

Understanding Why Many Companies Downgraded Their EcoVadis Medals

If your company’s EcoVadis medal dropped this year, take a breath. It likely wasn’t a performance failure. Over the past two assessment cycles, EcoVadis has introduced fundamental methodology changes that have reshaped how medals are awarded across its network. The result? Companies with stable or even improving raw scores are watching their medals slide from Platinum to Silver, Gold to Bronze, or off the podium entirely. The frustration is understandable.

At Veerless, we’ve heard from clients, peers, and partners across industries who are asking the same questions: What changed? Why did our medal drop when our score went up? And is EcoVadis still the right investment?

Veerless Becomes Carbon Neutral Certified

At Veerless, we strongly believe a commitment to the planet and combating climate change means little without a data-driven strategy to prove a company’s commitment. As 2023 wrapped, we began our process to become Climate Neutral Certified. This certification is awarded by the Change Climate Project, which stands as a rigorous, independent standard for companies taking real, measurable steps towards reducing their carbon emissions to zero.

Introducing Veerless’ Inaugural Impact Report

Since Veerless began as Marcy Twete Consulting in 2019, we have been hands on in the development of our clients’ ESG/Sustainability/CR and Impact reports. Our team emphasizes the importance of transparency, openness, and clarity in reporting with every project we do for clients. Internally, we’ve “walked our talk” in transparency by becoming B Corp Certified in 2021. But something was missing – a report. B Corps are required to recertify their scores every three years, and we look forward to our recertification in 2024. But we also wanted to create a singular place for our stakeholders to see our impact at work.
