To the EcoVadis Rating

What Does EcoVadis Evaluate?

EcoVadis is the global standard for sustainability ratings and evaluates companies based on 21 sustainability criteria across four core areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Since 2023, we have undergone the EcoVadis rating annually: In 2023 and 2024, we earned the Silver medal each year, followed by the Gold medal in 2025. We are therefore very proud to have earned the Gold medal again in 2026. This places us among the top 5% of all industries out of more than 150,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide.

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 Labor Organization (ILO), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and the ISO 26000 standard. The ratings provide an evidence-based analysis of performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.

We have received EcoVadis Gold for the second year in a row — ranking in the top 5% worldwide

We were also able to increase our score from 78 points in 2024 to 81 points in 2025.

This award confirms our achievements in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. For us, sustainability is not a one-off project, but an integral part of our corporate strategy — from product development and production to our collaboration with suppliers.

 

EcoVadis Gold – because we’re consistently putting our commitments into action:

  • Responsible use of resources: 25% reduction in the consumption of cleaning solvent compared to 2025
  • Development of products that promote healthy living: MY GREEN HOME product line​
  • Careful use of resources and reduction of CO2 emissions: Recycled cartridges, green electricity, film waste
  • High standards in compliance and occupational safety: BG “Safety with a System”​
  • Local sourcing
    Additional Measures

 

What does this mean for our customers?

  • Less effort in supplier evaluations​

  • Transparent sustainability information​
  • Support with ESG and CSRD requirements​
  • Greater confidence in selecting a reliable partner
