Siegwerk has once again been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal. It achieved an overall score of 75 out of 100 points, reflecting particularly advanced practices across all criteria.

This strong performance places Siegwerk in the 94th percentile of all companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide and in the top 6% of companies. The new rating not only reflects Siegwerk’s continuous progress in implementing its sustainability goals, but also the effectiveness of its holistic sustainability agenda HorizonNOW.

EcoVadis has more than 150,000 rated companies in its network. The percentile rank compares a company’s score against all companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide.

Here, the silver rating starts at the 85th percentile and the gold rating at the 95th percentile. Thus, Siegwerk’s result in the 94th percentile not only means that the company’s rating is better than 94% of all companies assessed, but also that it is very close to gold level.

“The great performance in terms of percentile is a powerful testament to the effectiveness of our sustainability efforts across all business areas and regions,” says Alina Marm, head of global sustainability & circular economy at Siegwerk. “We have made great progress in the various areas of our sustainability agenda HorizonNOW, confirming that we are on the right track on our journey of creating a truly sustainable business.”

Siegwerk Demonstrates Significant Improvement

Compared to its 2023 EcoVadis rating, Siegwerk has demonstrated a significant 12-point improvement. This underscores the company’s accelerating sustainability momentum.

For example, the company launched its Sustainable Procurement Program “SustainUP” this summer. This brings its established Human Rights Policy & Guiding Principles and Business Partner Code of Conduct commitments into action.

Among other things, the program aims to help reduce the company’s Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030. It also supports suppliers reduce their environmental and human rights risks. The new initiative is just one pillar of Siegwerk’s broader sustainability agenda HorizonNOW. This program integrates climate action, human rights, and circular innovation across the business.
