EcoVadis assesses our sustainability practices 

EcoVadis is the global standard for sustainability ratings and assesses companies based on 21 sustainability criteria covering four core areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. We have been participating in the EcoVadis rating annually since 2023: After achieving Silver in 2023 and 2024 and earning the Gold Medal in 2025, we are especially proud to have once again received the Gold Medal in 2026, placing us among the top 5% of all industries out of more than 150,000 companies worldwide rated by EcoVadis.

The EcoVadis sustainability ratings are based on international sustainability standards such as the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standard and the ISO 26000 standard. The ratings provide an evidence-based analysis of performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.

 

The OTTO Sustainability Report

While the EcoVadis assessment examines our sustainability activities comprehensively, our sustainability report provides a deeper insight into the concrete measures and goals we pursue. As an annual status update, we present OTTO's most important sustainability achievements in a transparent, open and honest manner.
