Kautex earns Platinum rating from EcoVadis
Kautex is awarded the Ecovadis Platinum Medal. EcoVadis evaluates companies based on their performance in four key categories: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. We achieved the bronze medal last year and are now moving up three steps on the podium - fantastic news that reflects our exceptional achievements and improvements in these areas. By achieving the platinum rating, we are among the top one percent of large companies rated by EcoVadis.
EcoVadis is the world's largest provider of sustainability ratings and evaluates more than 130,000 companies from over 180 countries.
In our assessment this year, we improved in all four categories, with the biggest improvement being in sustainable sourcing. This shows the work we are doing to involve our suppliers in a sustainable future.
Sophie Louis, Director of Energy and Sustainability, said: “This was truly a pleasant surprise and the result of a great cross-functional effort over many weeks between HR, Legal, EHS and the Sustainability team.”
We are of course happy about this achievement, but we also know that our planet can only get better if we get better ourselves. We look forward to continuing our journey on our sustainability roadmap.
Hoang Thi Do, Sustainability Manager at Kautex, said: “We cannot improve what we have not measured and reported on. Therefore, this platinum medal is really encouraging and shows that we are on the right path towards greater sustainability."
Sustainability remains one of our key business pillars and a practice we implement every day at work.
