EcoVadis Platinum for the 5th time

Hamburg – Jungheinrich has been awarded the Platinum Medal by EcoVadis for the fifth consecutive year, reaffirming its position among the top one per cent of the world’s most sustainable companies. EcoVadis, a global leader in sustainability ratings, evaluated more than 150,000 companies across a wide range of industries.

“Receiving platinum status for the fifth time is both a confirmation and motivation,” says Dr Lars Brzoska, Chairman of the Board of Management of Jungheinrich AG. “It confirms the effectiveness of our sustainability strategy. Achieving top marks in the environmental category and making clear progress in ethics demonstrates that we consistently take our responsibilities seriously while pursuing our sustainability targets.”

EcoVadis evaluates companies based on 21 sustainability criteria across four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Jungheinrich once again received the highest rating in the environmental category and significantly improved its performance in the field of ethics.

As part of the Science Based Targets initiative, Jungheinrich has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain (Scopes 1–3) by 2050. Transparent sustainability reporting also contributed to the strong rating. For example, Jungheinrich provides customers with detailed insights into the environmental impact of its products through product carbon footprint data.

Compared to the previous year, Jungheinrich improved its overall EcoVadis score from 82 to 85 points, maintaining its position among the top one per cent of all companies assessed globally.

In addition to the EcoVadis recognition, Jungheinrich has recently received further awards for its sustainability performance, including the German Sustainability Award and an A rating from CDP for its climate protection initiatives. These accolades underline the consistency and effectiveness of the company’s long-term sustainability strategy.
