Vetter has achieved a gold rating in the renowned, independent EcoVadis sustainability ranking. The Company achieved 72 out of 100 points, a substantial improvement from its previous score. According to the press release, this places the Company among the top 5% of all industry participants.
Vetter is committed to sustainability as part of its business strategy and has recently achieved success in environmental, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. International CSR standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000 guided the Company’s approach.
“Tens of thousands of companies around the world, including many of our customers, use EcoVadis as an indicator of sustainable business practices. They also incorporate the independent assessments into their selection of suppliers and business partners,” explains Henryk Badack, Vetter’s Senior Vice President Technical Service/Internal Project Management.
“Simply talking about this topic is never enough in our opinion,” states Vetter Managing Director Thomas Otto. “With our activities involving social, economic, and ecological sustainability, we want to have a positive impact on the regions with our sites.”
“We are very proud that our far-reaching initiatives in many areas around sustainable corporate governance have had a significant impact on the EcoVadis rating and that we were, once again, able to demonstrate improvement over previous years. The positive external evaluation is a strong achievement and further motivates us to continue this great development transparently among our employees, customers, and partners, as well as the patients and society,” said Vetter Managing Director Peter Soelkner.
