Siegwerk achieves EcoVadis Gold Medal

Siegwerk has received the EcoVadis Gold Medal, marking a new milestone in the company’s sustainability journey. With an overall score of 78 out of 100, Siegwerk now ranks in the 96th percentile, placing it among the top 5 percent of all companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide. The new rating builds on Siegwerk’s substantial progress, announced a few weeks ago, and underlines the company’s growing leadership in sustainable business practices and the value ratings provide in tackling the topics that matter..

'We are proud to see our continued efforts pay off so clearly - again,' says Alina Marm, head of global sustainability and circular economy at Siegwerk. 'EcoVadis Gold underlines that consistency and dedication to a sustainable business transformation pays off - not only when it comes to reducing our footprint but also in building stronger foundations across our supply chain, labor practices, and ethical standards. This prestigious recognition energizes us to go even further.'

The achievement reflects Siegwerk’s consistent year-over-year improvements since it began group-level assessments in 2022 and confirms that the company’s sustainability agenda, HorizonNow, is driving measurable results. By receiving Gold, Siegwerk has also achieved its corporate goal of reaching this level of recognition by 2025.

Siegwerk’s improved EcoVadis rating reflects strong performance across all four assessment categories.

It achieved a score of 86/100 in the environment. Driven by third-party assured corporate and product carbon footprints, global ISO certifications, and decisive site-level actions in pollution and waste management.

In the sustainable procurement category, the company scored 68/100, which is enabled by a new supplier code of conduct, supplier risk assessments and engagement programs to jointly improve human rights and climate activities. It is wrapped in Siegwerk’s sustainable procurement program 'SustainUP'.

Under labor and human rights category, Siegwerk achieved 80/100, driven by its new human and labor rights policy, company-wide living wage analysis, and improved grievance mechanism.

Strengthened by continued compliance and transparent reporting practices, the company scored 66/100 in the ethics category.

EcoVadis additionally highlighted Siegwerk’s ISO 14001 certification at the site level as well as its role as a Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) respondent, further demonstrating the maturity of its sustainability management systems and activities.

'Our new gold rating not only reflects the continuous progress we are making toward our sustainability goals but also proves the effectiveness of our holistic sustainability agenda. Being in the 96th percentile – in other words, being ahead of 96 percent of all companies assessed – is a powerful endorsement of our efforts,' adds Marm. Compared to the company’s 2023 assessment, Siegwerk improved its overall score by 15 points, demonstrating the accelerating pace of its sustainability momentum.
