Ecovadis
Rating systems such as Ecovadis are gaining increasing importance in the industry when it comes to assessing the sustainability of companies. Ecovadis focuses on four main areas:
- Environmental impact: This includes the responsibility for the environmental impact of our own activities, such as energy consumption in production and office spaces, as well as the use of chemicals. This applies to both products and services.
- Ethics: This pertains to topics such as corruption and bribery, anti-competitive practices, and responsible marketing.
- Sustainable procurement: This covers the origin of resources and parts, their production methods, and the existing CSR management systems among suppliers.
- Human resources: This addresses questions related to health and safety, working conditions, structured social dialogue, career management, and training. Additionally, human rights issues are examined to prevent child labor, forced labor, and discrimination.
We have undergone the Ecovadis Sustainability Rating 2023 and are pleased with our performance in sustainability management. Achieving the Bronze status is an important milestone for us and simultaneously encourages us to actively continue shaping our sustainability management. We aim for the Silver status and will work towards it by implementing additional measures
