2022 EcoVadis ratings

In the course of 2022 no less than 9 of our plants received an excellent EcoVadis sustainability rating. Five plants were awarded a bronze medal: Diemlach in Austria, Forcate and Vigonovo in Italy, Moson in Hungary and Rybnik in Poland. Four other plants even received a silver medal: Biache in France, Yangzhou in China, Zonhoven in Belgium and Brescia in Italy. The silver EcoVadis rating indicates that these plants are in the top 25 percentile.

These ratings are reviewed periodically. We’ll of course make every effort to maintain and improve our ratings so that our stakeholders can be sure to cooperate with a sustainable partner who believes in the future and contributes to making change happen.

Sam Hodlin, Head of Sustainability at Purmo Group says: ‘Our sustainability strategy is about producing lasting results in the long term. Although we’re very ambitious, we know sustainability is also about making steady progress and growing as a company. We’re delighted that these EcoVadis ratings reflect our sustainability efforts and progress. In the coming years we will of course continue to make every effort to reduce our environmental impact and harness growth opportunities, together with our employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders.’
