ZUMTOBEL GROUP RECEIVES ECOVADIS PLATINUM RATING
The Zumtobel Group has consistently been evaluated by EcoVadis across the entire group since 2016 and has progressed from Silver to Gold over the past ten years. By achieving Platinum status, the Zumtobel Group now ranks among the top 1% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. The continuous improvement in the overall score reflects the lighting group’s sustainable development.
The EcoVadis Platinum rating confirms the Zumtobel Group's consistently pursued path: for us, sustainability is not a single project, but an integral part of our business. This success is only possible thanks to the joint commitment of our teams and the continuous implementation of our sustainability strategy. At the same time, we see this award as an incentive to continue advancing our ambitions – in the interests of our customers and partners, our employees and the environment,
says Alfred Felder, CEO of the Zumtobel Group.
Measurable sustainable development
The Zumtobel Group’s progress to the Platinum level demonstrates one thing above all: sustainable development always goes hand in hand with transparent reporting. Throughout the entire value chain, the company is implementing concrete measures with quantitative targets as part of its sustainability strategy – consisting of the Net-Zero, Circular Economy and Partner of Choice goals. Regulatory frameworks, such as the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), under which the Zumtobel Group reports on its progress in sustainability, are a significant catalyst for creating transparency.
