Sustainability is a journey, and we’re proud to keep moving forward. 🌱

As part of the Flexiteek family, Wilks Fendering is supported by our ongoing commitment to responsible business practices, transparency and continuous improvement.

Our latest EcoVadis assessment for 2026 has seen Flexiteek achieve a score of 71/100, a 2-point increase on our previous result. We’ve also made significant progress across the individual assessment areas, with particularly strong improvements in Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

Our EcoVadis medal has moved from Silver to Bronze this year, but this doesn’t reflect a drop in our own performance. EcoVadis rankings are based on how companies compare with others being assessed, and despite our score increasing, the overall benchmark moved too. We remain within the top 35% of companies assessed globally.

For Wilks Fendering, this is another positive step towards building a more responsible future for the marine industry. We’re continuing to strengthen our sustainability reporting, environmental initiatives, certifications and supply chain practices, while looking for new ways to improve.
