For the second year in a row: ALD Automotive Austria receives the EcoVadis Gold Medal for sustainability

For the second time in a row, our efforts in the area of sustainability were recognised with the EcoVadis Gold Medal. We were even able to improve on last year’s excellent result.

 

ALD Automotive Austria underwent the annual sustainability analysis carried out by the international platform EcoVadis and is delighted to once again receive the gold certification. Scoring 73 out of 100 points, we were even able to improve on the previous year’s impressive result by 3 points. This puts us in the top 2 percent of all companies assessed in the industry.

 

EcoVadis evaluates companies’ responsible actions regarding economic, social, and ecological factors. The areas of environment, labour and human rights, and even ethics are analysed for the sustainability rating.

With a consistently high level in all three categories, we at ALD Automotive Austria once again received the gold certification this year.

 

Martin Kössler, Managing Director ALD Automotive Austria, is delighted with the gold medal and looks ahead to the future: “The renewed improvement validates the CSR course we have adopted and motivates us to continue to press ahead with our sustainability goals in the future. With the recent increase in points, the platinum award is within reach. Therefor our goal for next year is clear.
