Sustainability activities honoured with gold: Berentzen Group receives another EcoVadis gold medal

"We are delighted to once again receive this award for our work in the area of sustainability. It encourages us to continue pursuing the path we have taken with regard to ecological, economic and social aspects," says Laura Schlochtermeier, Head of Sustainability at the Berentzen Group.

The EcoVadis Sustainability Rating assesses companies in the four areas of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The result shows how well a company has integrated the principles of sustainability into its business and management system. To date, around 100,000 companies have taken part in the provider's sustainability assessments. This makes it one of the most important sustainability ratings worldwide.

"In the latest rating, we were even able to surpass our very good result from the previous year. Among other things, the certification of our environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001 and the introduction of a sustainability-related risk management and control system contributed to this. This clearly shows that we are not resting on our laurels, but are constantly working on pushing ahead with our sustainability activities with new projects and ideas," concludes Schlochtermeier.
