In April 2026, we reached a significant milestone: we were awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for the first time. This puts us in the top 5 % of all companies assessed worldwide. Our consistent focus on sustainable and responsible business practices is thus fully recognised.
We are particularly proud of the fact that we achieved this success in one big step: from bronze to gold.
More than just an award
The assessment by EcoVadis is far more than just a snapshot for us. It serves as a clear benchmark and at the same time as a strategic tool that constantly drives us forward in the further development of our sustainability performance.
The EcoVadis assessment focuses on four key areas:
1. environmental protection
2. labour and human rights
3. ethics
4. sustainable procurement
These areas make responsible behaviour measurable.
Progress with impact
The improvement from bronze to gold and the score achieved in the rating show that our measures are working. At the same time, we see this result as an incentive to continue along the right path.
For us, sustainability is not a finished project, but a dynamic process that is constantly evolving and being actively shaped.
Taking responsibility together
The award is the result of cooperation between all employees across the individual divisions. It makes it clear that each and every individual takes responsibility on a daily basis, acts transparently and thinks long-term. We are proud of our team and are confident about a sustainable and long-term future.
