The new year has started off well for us. For the second time, we have been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Silver Medal for our outstanding sustainability performance. This puts Marbach in the top 15% of the most sustainable companies in all of the industries worldwide that underwent EcoVadis' rigorous assessment last year.
It is particularly noteworthy that EcoVadis has tightened its evaluation criteria in all areas compared to last year. This has made the competition for the medals much more demanding. The fact that we have once again been awarded silver shows the professionalism and commitment that we have shown in promoting our sustainability management.
Eva-Maria Agreiter, Marbach's Sustainability Manager, is pleased with the renewed honor: "Sustainability is a central element of our philosophy as a company with a history of more than 100 years. The fact that we have again been awarded the silver medal under more stringent conditions fills me with great pride.”
The award is a clear sign of our consistent commitment to environmental protection, responsible business practices and sustainable economic activity.
"For us, sustainability is an ongoing process," continues Agreiter. "This renewed honor confirms that we are on the right track. At the same time, it is an incentive to further intensify our commitment to continue to make a valuable contribution to a sustainable and responsible economy in the future".
The EcoVadis Silver Medal shows that we not only meet our own standards but are also a pioneer in sustainability on a global scale.
