MEKO’s partnering with Worldfavor marks a commitment to ensuring sustainable operations throughout the supply chain.

Worldfavor provides a comprehensive overview of the entire supply chain, aiming to enhance sustainability processes across all departments.
"This collaboration will provide us with a consolidated view of our supplier base. It gives us the ability to demand improvements in various areas and allows us to identify risks, enabling us to prioritize our efforts in the most efficient and sustainable way," notes Jessica Tjulander, Director of Wholesale at MEKO.
Additionally, partnering with Worldfavor, MEKO aims to secure processes linked to upcoming legislation requirements and those already in force.
“We are convinced that a strong sustainability focus is key to delivering solid financial results, attracting and retaining employees, and remaining relevant in the future. As market leaders, we must lead in sustainability within our industry and take significant social responsibility. Our ongoing implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the coming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) highlights the importance of supplier evaluation tools in addressing several European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), such as the 'workers in the value chain standard'," Louise Wohrne states.
“We’re excited to partner with MEKO, a leading player in the Northern European automotive aftermarket. Worldfavor’s platform will help MEKO gain a comprehensive and clear overview of their supply chain processes and advance social responsibility and sustainability initiatives.
