New Delhi [India], February 26: WAE, India’s leading sustainable hydration solutions provider for institutional and commercial environments, today announced that it has been awarded the EcoVadis “Committed” Badge, a globally recognized sustainability acknowledgment by EcoVadis. The recognition marks the formal institutionalisation of WAE’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework and the beginning of a structured, multi-year journey towards EcoVadis Platinum certification.
EcoVadis is the world’s most widely used provider of corporate sustainability ratings, assessing companies across four critical dimensions: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. It’s methodology is grounded in international sustainability frameworks including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and ISO 26000. It is trusted by more than 100,000 organizations globally to evaluate ESG performance and supply-chain integrity.
The Committed Badge signifies that WAE has successfully completed the comprehensive sustainability assessment by EcoVadis and has demonstrated the presence of formalized policies, governance mechanisms, and performance indicators aligned with global ESG expectations. The Company views this recognition not as an endpoint, but as a baseline for disciplined improvement.
“We do not view the Committed badge as an accolade; we view it as an audit of intent,” said A Vikram Joshe, Founder and MD, WAE Ltd. “It marks the point at which sustainability stops being narrative and becomes architecture—measured, governed, and accountable. Our objective is not incremental compliance but systemic excellence, with Platinum as a long-term outcome of disciplined execution.”
WAE is now translating the EcoVadis assessment into a structured transformation roadmap, including the integration of ESG metrics into leadership scorecards, strengthened supplier sustainability due-diligence, and targeted initiatives across environmental performance, workforce practices, and governance.
EcoVadis is not a certification to be chased; it is a standard to be built into the enterprise over time,” Vikram added. “Our ambition is not to score well—but to operate well, consistently, verifiably, and at scale.”
