Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility - including workplace safety, human rights, fair business practices, sustainable sourcing, and environmental protection - is independently verified by the certification institute EcoVadis, based in Paris. We are pleased to announce that our sustainability performance has once again been assessed by EcoVadis in 2025 - and with outstanding results.
In 2025, we improved on our already excellent performance from the previous year, underscoring our continuous efforts. EcoVadis benchmarks us not only against companies within our industry - where we rank among the top 2% - but also across all sectors, comparing us with all assessed companies worldwide. Despite the structural disadvantages faced by manufacturing businesses, we continue to rank among the top 7% of all companies evaluated globally.
This achievement confirms our consistent commitment to sustainability and motivates us to continue advancing on this path with dedication. You can find a more detailed 2025 sustainability profile in our download section.
Also, since 2017 we have been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. Thus, we are part of the world´s largest corporate responsibilty and sustainability initiative which has the aim to realise the vision of a more sustainable an inclusive global economy.
