EcoVadis (2022)

To supplement the 14001 environmental audit, Dr. Weigert has formed a “Sustainability Team” to promote the subject of sustainability even more intensively and to support our customers in their sustainability efforts in the best way possible. At the end of 2021, following discussion and analysis of different providers, our “Sustainability Team” opted for the rating from the agency EcoVadis.

EcoVadis is a large global provider of sustainability ratings/strategies. The global network includes over 90,000 companies.

Through combined efforts and working according to a tight schedule, a questionnaire with 80 main questions and countless subquestions was answered and 55 documents were uploaded to the EcoVadis platform.

The aim of the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) rating from EcoVadis is to assess the quality of a company's CSR management system. The assessment concentrates on 21 criteria, divided into four overall subject areas:

• Environment
• Work practices and human rights
• Fair business practices
• Sustainable procurement

The EcoVadis assessment concluded with a highly welcome silver rating. This places Dr. Weigert among the best 25% of companies assessed by EcoVadis! It shows that Dr. Weigert has already reached important milestones with its sustainability strategy. At the same time, it is also an incentive to think even bigger and be even more ambitious as we proceed with the implementation of the sustainability goals.

For this reason, this groundbreaking element for assessing and portraying our sustainability strategy will continue to be an important component of our company policy in the future.
