EcoVadis GOLD: The reward for our commitment.
Gold again:
Sustainability at the heart!
Wow, we’ve done it!
We feel like Olympic champions: in 2024, we once again have the coveted EcoVadis gold medal in our hands.
A tremendous success in a year that was characterized by increasing challenges!
For us, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it is our responsibility and our commitment.
Together with myclimate and amfori BSCI, we ensure that our value chain is continuously put to the test.
EcoVadis – what?
The label explained in a nutshell.
Never heard of EcoVadis?
No problem!
EcoVadis is the gold standard when it comes to transparency and tangible sustainability in companies.
EcoVadis uses a comprehensive evaluation system to scrutinize ethical, social and ecological aspects of the entire value chain.
The result?
A clear, meaningful rating that shows where your company stands and where there is still room for improvement.
With over 100,000 rated companies in more than 160 countries, EcoVadis is one of the largest independent sustainability ratings in the world.
The ratings are based on international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the UN Global Compact and serve as a reliable benchmark for sustainable business practices.
EcoVadis makes it possible – clear, transparent and measurable!
Top rating:
The benchmark that is always higher.
Achieving Gold status with EcoVadis has always been demanding – and from 2024 it will be even more challenging.
Only the top 5% of companies will secure the gold medal.
If you want to score points here, you have to prove yourself as a real pioneer in sustainability.
The stricter criteria clearly focus on climate protection, human rights and fair supply chains.
If you want to secure this award, you have to go the extra mile and show that sustainability is not just a trend, but a real commitment.
It is therefore all the more impressive that our detailed assessment was even enough to achieve 97th place.
This means that we are better than 97% of the companies rated by EcoVadis in our sector – or to put it another way: we are in the top 3%.
