Zumtobel Group, an Austrian company specialising in professional indoor and outdoor lighting, has received a Platinum rating from sustainability assessment platform EcoVadis, placing the company amongst the top 1% of organisations evaluated worldwide.
The lighting manufacturer has been assessed by EcoVadis since 2016 and has progressed from Silver to Gold before achieving Platinum status for the first time.
According to the company, the latest rating reflects continued improvements in its sustainability performance and reporting practices.
Alfred Felder, CEO of Zumtobel Group, notes, “The EcoVadis Platinum rating confirms the Zumtobel Group’s consistently pursued path; for us, sustainability is not a single project but an integral part of our business.
“This success is only possible thanks to the joint commitment of our teams and the continuous implementation of our sustainability strategy.
“At the same time, we see this award as an incentive to continue advancing our ambitions in the interests of our customers and partners, our employees, and the environment.”
A sustainable strategy
The company says its sustainability strategy is built around three areas: Net Zero, Circular Economy, and Partner of Choice.
Zumtobel states that it is implementing measures and targets across its value chain to support these objectives, whilst increasing transparency through sustainability reporting.
The company also highlights the role of regulatory frameworks, including the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), in supporting the disclosure of sustainability performance and progress.
According to Zumtobel, the move to Platinum status reflects both its sustainability initiatives and its approach to measuring and reporting results.
