EcoVadis, the leading provider of CSR/sustainability assessments, enables companies to assess a supplier's CSR and sustainability performance using a collaborative CSR assessment platform. The underlying methodology complies with the international GRI/G4 and ISO 26000 guidelines.
The sustainability experts from EcoVadis examined the company's activities in the areas of environment, labour and human rights (social), ethics and sustainable procurement on the basis of guidelines and certificates. Lohmann scored well, or advanced, in all areas.
For example, the company received 70 out of a possible 100 points for its environmental commitment. With the silver certificate, the third highest award within the rating, EcoVadis rated Lohmann's sustainability commitment as "structured" and "proactive".
Ralph Uenver, Lohmann sustainability director said: "We want to expand our sustainability efforts even further in the future. Currently, for example, we are working on implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals and aim to be climate neutral by 2035."
