MALVERN, PA — YPrime has solidified its reputation as a leader in responsible and sustainable business practices by earning a top-tier EcoVadis rating and medal. Ranking in the top 35 percent globally among 157,000 companies assessed, the clinical research technology firm improved its score by 27 points compared to the prior year.
This achievement reflects YPrime’s advances in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs, which have become a critical focus across the clinical trial industry. “Sustainability in clinical research is no longer optional—it’s an expectation,” said Otis Johnson, PhD, MPA, Co-Founder & Principal Consultant, Trial Equity. “Clinical trial sponsors expect partners to demonstrate environmental, social, and governance leadership as part of their selection criteria. YPrime’s leadership in this area indicates that the Company is not only advancing eCOA, IRT, and eConsent but also fostering innovation that is ethical, inclusive, and responsible.”
YPrime’s commitment extends beyond ESG assessments, underpinned by initiatives such as a Sustainable Procurement Policy to maintain ethical and human rights standards across its supply chain. The company also enforces device recycling programs globally and mandates annual environmental sustainability training for all employees. Moving forward, YPrime is advancing a carbon management plan aligned with the Paris Agreement and prioritizing energy efficiency in procurement practices.
“YPrime’s latest EcoVadis rating and our receipt of an EcoVadis medal is more than just an achievement—it’s a signal to the industry that we are taking bold action to drive meaningful change in the clinical trial ecosystem,” said Jim Corrigan, CEO of YPrime. “As ESG performance continues to be a defining factor in vendor selection, we are proud to lead the way in demonstrating how cutting-edge technology and sustainability can work together to meet the demands of tomorrow’s clinical trials.”
YPrime’s accolade reinforces its strategic focus on integrating sustainability with cutting-edge clinical trial solutions, setting a high standard for responsible innovation in the industry.
