Group News

07 Jun 2019

ELPRO has once again been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal for excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). For the fifth consecutive year, the Swiss company has earned the recognized certificate, which is issued by one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, intelligence and collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply chains.

The last few years have shown us that sustainable management should not be an empty phrase. We are therefore particularly pleased that we have once again been able to achieve an outstanding sustainability performance in the areas of 'Ethics' and 'Sustainable Procurement. 
Björn Niggemann, Chief Quality Officer

IIndustry leaders such as Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, L’Oréal, Subway, Nestlé, Salesforce, Michelin and BASF are among the more than 75,000 businesses on the EcoVadis network, working to assess, collaborate and improve sustainability performance in order to protect their brands, foster transparency and innovation, and accelerate growth.
With 63 out of 100 possible points on the EcoVadis scorecard, ELPRO was able to achieve an above-average distinction compared to the other companies in the industry that were examined.

We operate a voluntary CSR system developed by EcoVadis. Their sustainability scorecards provide us detailed insight into environmental, social and ethical risks along our supply chain. We are honored to receive this recognition from such a renowned examining office that assesses companies across 155 countries. Our special thanks go to our employees for the part they each play in this ongoing effort to make meaningful changes in our supply chain. 

Björn Niggemann, Chief Quality Officer

The EcoVadis methodology is at the core of the company’s CSR analysis system, covering 21 criteria across four themes that include environment; fair labor and human rights; ethics; and sustainable procurement. The methodology is built on international CSR standards including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and the ISO 26000
