MALVERN, Pa., March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YPrime, the leading pioneer in clinical trial technology, today announced it has earned a top-tier EcoVadis rating and medal, solidifying its position among the industry’s most responsible and sustainable organizations. YPrime ranked in the top 35 percent globally, placing it ahead of the majority of 157,000 companies assessed worldwide. This marks a 27-point increase from the previous year, underscoring YPrime’s significant progress in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance.
“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.”
