Coveris achieves record EcoVadis sustainability scores

Packaging manufacturer Coveris has revealed record sustainability performances across its group as rated by EcoVadis. Signifying a new milestone for the company, following a series of recent EcoVadis assessments, almost 60 percent of sites within the Coveris Group have achieved a Platinum score, ranking them among the top 1 percent globally. A further 30 percent of Coveris’ sites achieved a Gold medal, placing them in the top 5 percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis.

Sustainability at Coveris is underpinned by the company’s award-winning No Waste vision and environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework. As part of its ESG commitments, Coveris targets 100 percent of its sites, located across eight countries, to be assessed by EcoVadis for an evidence-based analysis of its sustainability performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.

EcoVadis is the global standard for rating operational sustainability commitments, practices and performance and a globally trusted provider of business ratings with a network of more than 130,000 rated companies. Based on international sustainability standards, the EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 criteria across four core themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

With Platinum EcoVadis scores, Coveris’ top-rated manufacturing sites are located in Germany and the UK. In Germany, Coveris’ flexible film plants in Halle, Rohrdorf and Warburg, are its newest locations to receive the top EcoVadis score. In the UK, Coveris’ sites with a Platinum rating are in Boston, Burnley, Cramlington, Gainsborough, Spalding, St Neots (x2), Leeds (Rivendell), Louth (ReCover recycling plant), Winsford and Wisbech, in addition to its two Amberley Labels sites in Blandford and Boston.

Coveris’ sites with a Gold score are located in Campine, Firminy, and Montfaucon, France; Białystok, Poland; Pirtó, Hungary; Brno, Czech Republic; and Hartlepool and Louth, United Kingdom. Together, all our sites contributed to achieving an EcoVadis Gold rating for the entire Coveris Group.

Coveris’ CEO Christian Kolarik said: 'We are immensely proud of our record-breaking and industry-leading EcoVadis scores, which are a testament to our dedication in delivering on our No Waste vision and ESG priorities, every day.

'With almost 60 percent of Coveris sites covered by the most prestigious Platinum rating and now ranked among the top 1 percent globally assessed by EcoVadis, and a further 30 percent with Gold scores — placing them in the top 5 percent — this is an outstanding accomplishment that underscores the strength of our sustainability strategy. More than an accolade for Coveris, this is a significant step forward for our customers and the wider packaging value chain, reinforcing our shared commitment to a more sustainable future.

'A huge well done to our teams for achieving new milestones on our No Waste sustainability journey; they reflect the culture of excellence and improvement, focus on the environment and innovation across our business.'

In June 2025, Coveris was the winner of the Gold Award for Sustainable Packaging Business of the Year at the Environmental Packaging Awards in London. The award recognizes the manufacturer’s strategic, measurable and business-wide sustainability achievements.
