PERGAN receives EcoVadis Gold Rating
Bocholt,
In October 2024, PERGAN GmbH was awarded Gold status for the first time as part of an EcoVadis assessment. PERGAN has been part of the Ecovadis network since 2017 and has been able to steadily increase its score, moving from Silver status to Gold status with a score of 75 out of 100. This outstanding rating result underlines PERGAN's progress in its sustainability efforts.
EcoVadis evaluates the management systems of companies in the categories of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. More than 130,000 companies worldwide have their sustainability performance assessed by EcoVadis. With a score of 75 points, PERGAN is among the top 5% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis and among the top 4% of companies in the industry.
The EcoVadis rating catalog is based on internationally recognized standards such as the UN Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the ISO 26000 standard, the CERES principles and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The EcoVadis rating thus covers a wide range of information on company performance in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, taking into account industry-specific characteristics.
As part of its 360° monitoring, EcoVadis also includes a wide range of publicly available information such as news, NGO reports, government publications and court rulings in its assessment.
