The EGGER Group has achieved a remarkable improvement in its sustainability performance in two renowned sustainability ratings. For the first time, EGGER has been awarded the coveted EcoVadis Gold Medal. In the ISS ESG rating, EGGER has once again been awarded Prime Status, as the leading company in the industry.
For EGGER, sustainability commitment goes hand in hand with facts, evidence and the pursuit of continuous improvement. EGGER recently published the sustainability journal VALUABLE, which takes readers on an exciting journey and shows the measures the family company is taking to realise its strategic goals.
“To us sustainable management is not just a phrase," says Thomas Leissing, CFO and Spokesman for the Group Management. "We have high standards for our sustainability management and our transparent reporting. We are constantly striving for improvement. We are very pleased that we have now succeeded in doing this."
ESG ratings report a good result
Analyses by external and renowned ESG rating agencies provide valuable insights that give EGGER important indications for achieving its goals and reaching its potential for further improvement. The family company therefore proactively seeks these assessments.
This is the sixth time that the sustainability performance of the EGGER Group has been recognised by EcoVadis, one of the world's largest providers of sustainability ratings. This year, the family company has been awarded the Gold Medal for the first time. This means that EGGER is now among the top 5 per cent of all companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide and across all industries. The assessment is based on 21 criteria, subdivided into the areas of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
ISS ESG is one of the leading rating agencies in the sustainable investment segment. For the fifth time, it has awarded the EGGER Group Prime Status in Corporate Rating, which is reserved for the best companies in their respective industries. Companies with Prime status are considered sustainability leaders in their industry. EGGER has been named the industry leader in its own sector in the latest ISS ESG Rating.
