Endress+Hauser, a global leader in measurement instrumentation and industrial process solutions, has once again earned Gold status in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment. This achievement places the company among the top 5% of 150,000 companies worldwide evaluated for their environmental, social, and ethical practices. The recognition highlights Endress+Hauser’s commitment to sustainability and reinforces its reputation as a responsible partner for customers and suppliers.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates companies across four key areas: environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Endress+Hauser improved its overall score from 71 to 78, despite stricter evaluation criteria introduced by EcoVadis. The company excelled particularly in environmental initiatives and labor practices, showcasing its dedication to continuous improvement.
“Sustainability is at the core of our mission. We aim to help our customers operate more sustainably and efficiently, and this starts with leading by example in our own operations,” said Dr. Peter Selders, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group. “Achieving Gold status reflects our progress and strengthens our role as a trusted advisor in sustainability.”
EcoVadis requires companies to provide verifiable evidence to support their sustainability claims, ensuring transparency and accountability. Endress+Hauser’s rigorous documentation and reporting practices, including workplace safety protocols and hazardous materials management, were instrumental in securing the Gold rating.
The company has also set ambitious long-term goals, including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This aligns with the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. “Sustainability is a personal priority for me,” added Selders. “We have a responsibility to protect the climate and environment for future generations. Our actions today will shape the world our children inherit.”
