Leibinger awarded sustainability medal from EcoVadis

EcoVadis CSR rating agency has awarded coding and marking systems specialist Leibinger a bronze medal. The company also completed the Sedex Group’s SMETA audit standard for the second time.

The EcoVadis bronze medal attests that Leibinger is among the top 35 percent of companies across all industries rated over the last twelve months.

Leibinger achieved the best results in the categories of environment, ethics, and labour and human rights. EcoVadis has evaluated over 130,000 companies around the globe based on four categories and 21 sustainability criteria based on international standards. It is governed by a panel of experts from the fields of industry and science.

As part of its sustainability efforts, Leibinger once again underwent verification in line with the SMETA audit standard of the non-profit Sedex Group in 2024. SMETA is the world’s leading audit and documents social responsibility in labour standards, health and safety, the environment and business ethics.

The EcoVadis award and the successful SMETA audit reaffirm Leibinger’s commitment to sustainability and passing on its ‘made in Germany’, resource-saving, durable and low-maintenance coding and marking products. The company's ongoing optimization of its product and service portfolio clearly reflects its strategic medium—and long-term focus.

Christina Leibinger, CEO and company owner, commented: ‘I am very pleased that our sustainability measures are proving so successful and visible. This positive feedback encourages us to continuously develop our processes, products and services. Our long-standing commitment to sustainable business practices is proving its worth – we are ideally positioned to offer our customers an attractive and future-proof comprehensive solution. This lays the foundation for us to tap into further growth potential.’

Katharina Splinter, process and quality manager at Leibinger, added: ‘The verification clearly demonstrates our strong performance in the areas of sustainable procurement and transparent communication within the supply chain.’
