Semperit again with top ESG rating by EcoVadis
• Platinum award for the second year in a row
• Semperit among the top 1% worldwide for quality of sustainability management
• Participation in WU study on supply chain responsibility
Vienna, 25 October 2023 – For the second time, the Semperit Group has received the highest
platinum award in the EcoVadis rating for sustainability performance. This puts Semperit in
the top one percent worldwide of more than 100,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis. Overall,
Semperit achieved 78 out of 100 possible points (2022: 76 points).
“The platinum award and the repeated improvement of our rating are an important confirmation
for the Semperit Group and all our sites, which contribute to a more sustainable economy with
their ESG initiatives. However, we also see it as an incentive to identify further
opportunities and potential, for example in the areas of recycling, inclusion or
sustainability in the supply chain, and to convert them into added value for our company,”
says Semperit CEO Karl Haider.
EcoVadis is considered the world’s largest provider of sustainability ratings for companies.
The assessment covers the four important topics of environment, labour and human rights,
ethics and sustainable procurement on the basis of 21 indicators. Semperit clearly exceeds the
industry average in all of these categories, with significant improvements achieved in ethics
and sustainable procurement compared to 2022.
Supply chain responsibility as a strategic opportunity
In the area of sustainable procurement, Semperit recently participated in a study on supply
chain responsibility conducted by the Vienna University of Economics and Business.
Commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economic Affairs, the study analysed twelve
Austrian companies that see supply chain responsibility not only as an additional cost factor,
but also as a strategic opportunity. The results of the study were presented at the end of
September 2023:
