ENGEL retains EcoVadis Platinum rating
Over recent years, we have made considerable progress in our sustainability performance, steadily consolidating our status as a sustainable business – which, in turn, is how we have increased our sustainability score and maintained it at the highest level. In 2024, this achievement was once again recognised by EcoVadis in the shape of its Platinum rating.
So what does EcoVadis Platinum signify, and how does it benefit us as a business – and our customers?
“Retaining our rating proves that we are adhering to our sustainability principles, even under challenging conditions.”
— Stefan Engleder, CEO of ENGEL
EcoVadis ratings measure the sustainability of companies around the world. This internationally recognised method helps businesses to implement sustainable improvements and, in turn, to attain positive environmental and social impacts. Companies are assessed on a scorecard across areas such as environmental, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, based on standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the UN Global Compact and ISO 26000.
Our route to a Platinum rating
ENGEL began its EcoVadis journey in 2021, immediately reaching silver status, before achieving gold in 2022 and platinum in 2023, putting it among the top 1% of sustainable companies worldwide. Retaining a platinum rating requires ongoing activities and a stricter set of criteria.
Alexander Hell, Head of Sustainability Management, and Chief Executive Officer Stefan Engleder are delighted with the EcoVadis Platinum rating for 2024.
EcoVadis scores also improve customers’ sustainability performance and help minimise supply chain risks. ENGEL offers energy-efficient machine designs and circular economy solutions that improve the processing of recycled materials, helping customers cut down on CO₂ emissions and save on energy costs.
The EcoVadis rating confirms ENGEL’s sustainable track record over the course of the year, offering an important indicator for suppliers and customers. ENGEL would like to thank each and every member of staff for their dedication to achieving a sustainable future.
