What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is a globally recognized assessment platform that evaluates the sustainability performance of companies in four categories: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
The platform provides a common language for ESG performance and enables companies to align with global standards and achieve sustainable impact throughout the entire supply chain.
More than 1,400 multinational companies use EcoVadis ratings daily for their purchasing decisions.

Why does silver shine like gold for us?

EcoVadis requirements increase every year – the bar is now significantly higher than it was just a few assessment cycles ago. Ratings are determined using a detailed, rigorously validated set of criteria. Companies are also continuously compared against increasingly demanding benchmarks. This trend is reflected in the annually raised medal thresholds.


The fact that – thanks to the strong collaboration and expertise of our team – we achieved Silver underscores the strength of our established structures and processes: from management systems (ISO 14001, ISO 9001, etc.) to long-term sustainability measures that we have consistently implemented for many years.

Where we particularly excelled

A key success factor was our environmental performance, where we achieved an impressive 90 out of 100 points. This is based on our holistic sustainability management, which goes far beyond individual regulatory requirements such as those of the CSRD.

Particularly noteworthy aspects are:

  • A clear sustainability strategy including a long-term decarbonization pathway
  • Implementation of the group-wide Corporate Carbon Footprint
  • Comprehensive greenhouse gas data collection using our new software, Tanso – including an exceptionally high proportion of supplier-specific emission factors that ensure excellent data quality due to EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) for our products.

These structured, transparent, and validated processes make the difference – and show that Welser Profile does not view sustainability as a project but rather an integral part of corporate governance.
