“Receiving the Platinum award once again is a major collective success for us. In a rating system that is constantly evolving and setting ever-higher standards, we have achieved an excellent result,” says Nicole Pohl, Senior ESG Manager at KHS.
This means KHS continues to rank among the top one percent of the more than 175,000 companies evaluated annually. For its assessment, the rating organization applies up to 21 sustainability criteria across the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. This renewed leadership role demonstrates that environmental and social responsibility at the Dortmund-based systems provider is not merely stated on paper but is measurably put into practice. Sustainability goals are consistently pursued, progress is transparently documented, and efforts are continuously refined.
Clear Improvements in the “Support” Assessment Category
EcoVadis rated KHS’s commitment to sustainable development and responsible corporate governance—which extends beyond its core business operations—particularly highly. This is particularly evident in the increased score in the “Support” category, which encompasses the formal recognition and promotion of external sustainability initiatives and principles. The continuous advancement of this commitment led to a significant increase in points in this area compared to the previous year.
“We view EcoVadis as a benchmark for our own sustainability performance in the direct market and competitive context,” explains Pohl. “In this way, we provide our stakeholders with a reliable—and therefore robust—measure of our progress across the entire value chain.”
“EcoVadis’ assessment requirements are becoming increasingly stringent,” says Tobias Wetzel, KHS Managing Director of Sales and Service. “The fact that we were able to defend our top rating once again—and even improve our score—confirms that we are on the right track. For KHS, sustainability is not just lip service, but a binding standard for our actions. Especially in times of economic, political, and climate-related challenges, we are demonstrating that responsibility and corporate success can go hand in hand.”
