Ecovadis Sustainability Award
Arburg receives Gold Medal from Ecovadis
With its recent Gold Medal from Ecovadis and 73 points, Arburg has made it into the top five per cent of the world’s most sustainable industrial companies. Ecovadis is a comprehensive sustainability rating platform for global supply chains. In addition to environmental impact and sustainable procurement, the focus is also on ethics as well as labour and human rights. The Ecovadis rankings take into account the data and supply chains of more than 100,000 companies. In 2023, the points system was made even more stringent to achieve the respective Medal levels. So Arburg is even more pleased to have its sustainability activities as part of “arburgGREENworld” recognised with a Gold Medal – especially as stakeholders, customers, potential employees and suppliers are becoming increasingly aware of the issue of sustainability.
“As a grassroots family business, it has always been the case for Arburg that regions, family and people are important aspects of our brand promise ‘Wir sind da’ (We are here for you), says Gerhard Böhm, Arburg Managing Director Sales and After Sales, describing the attitude of the globally active injection moulding machine manufacturer. “This is something we don’t compromise on: we have a firm commitment not only to technological excellence, but also to the environment and the concerns of all our stakeholders.”
Sustainable action has always been embedded in Arburg’s corporate DNA, a fact that is reflected today in the fundamental decision made decades ago to produce centrally with short, flexible and transparent supply chains. 72 per cent of supplies come from Germany, and 66 per cent of them from Baden-Württemberg.
But it is not only ecological aspects that play a role in forward-thinking supply chain management. This year, Arburg hosted the Partner Summit in Lossburg to mark “100 years of the Hehl family company”. This anniversary event was not only Arburg’s special way of thanking its long-standing partners – at the same time, the about 450 participants were made aware of the growing importance of sustainable, transparent and socially responsible supply chains and Arburg’s extensive activities in this area.
