Sustainability rating
Wolfertschwenden, 18 April 2023 - Sustainability is a fundamental aspect of MULTIVAC's company strategy: With its durable machines, sustainable manufacturing processes and its own energy generation, as well as its recyclable packaging concepts and commitment to a functioning loop economy in the packaging industry, MULTIVAC makes a significant contribution to improving the eco balance - in its own company, in the sector and with its customers. Testament to this is now also provided by certification from EcoVadis, an internationally recognized rating agency for sustainability assessments. This year MULTIVAC was assessed for the first time by EcoVadis and awarded a silver medal. This means that MULTIVAC, the processing and packaging specialist, is among the best 25 percent of companies analysed by EcoVadis.
A transparent picture of the current state of its sustainability performance, as well as potential for possible improvements, are provided by the intensive inspection of the various requirements in the areas of the environment, employment and human rights, company ethics and the sustainable procurement of materials. “As an internationally operating company, we see it as our duty to treat our environment and resources as responsibly as possible,” says Alexander Hauschke, Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy at MULTIVAC. “When it comes to the environment or employment and human rights in particular, we are far above the average for the sector according to the assessment by EcoVadis. Our aspiration is now to start working on the potential for improvement that has been recognized, as well as continuing to expand the scope of sustainability and further improve our performance.”
