For the first time, EGGER has been awarded the coveted EcoVadis Gold Medal. And, in the ISS ESG rating, EGGER has once again been awarded Prime Status.
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% 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. In this rating performance was also further improved: EGGER has been named the industry leader in its own sector in the latest ISS ESG Rating.
“To us sustainable management is not just a phrase,” said Thomas Leissing, CFO. “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.”
In addition to these achievements, EGGER has recently published a sustainability journal – VALUABLE.
In it, company experts take readers on a tour of numerous sustainability projects at EGGER’s international plants: For example, readers can visit the construction site of the power plant being built at the St Johann in Tirol plant in order to expand the renewable energy supply, learn what product transparency means for EGGER, follow the journey of recycled wood and experience how it is reused in the production of new, high-quality chipboard at the Hexham plant in the UK. The experts show how they contribute directly to the strategic focus topics of the EGGER Group in their daily work.
