This year, usd AG was once again awarded the silver medal by EcoVadis for its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Particularly remarkable: Despite increased requirements and a significantly higher number of companies evaluated, we were able to achieve the silver rating once again. This means that we continue to be among the top 15% of all companies assessed worldwide.
The EcoVadis assessment is based on a comprehensive catalogue of criteria in the areas of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. Continuous improvement in these areas shows that sustainability is not just a strategic goal for us, but an integral part of our corporate culture.
“This award is the result of genuine, personal commitment on the part of many colleagues at usd. We see corporate social responsibility not as an obligation, but as an opportunity to take responsibility – for our employees, our partners and our environment. For us, the EcoVadis rating is not only a reflection of our work to date, but also an incentive to further raise our standards.“
Andrea Tubach, CEO of usd AG
