What is EcoVadis and why does it matter?
EcoVadis is the world's largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, assessing companies based on their policies, actions, and results across four key areas:
- Environment
- Labor & Human Rights
- Ethics
- Sustainable Procurement
The Platinum medal is only awarded to the top 1% of companies evaluated, and this year, Ecolean achieved a score of 82 out of 100 – the same outstanding result as the last two years.
"It’s truly fantastic – this achievement makes me both happy and immensely proud of all our amazing colleagues who have contributed to this work. This recognition reflects the strong efforts of our entire organization across the areas of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement throughout 2024.”
— Maria Ahlström, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ecolean
Higher requirements – but Ecolean raises the bar
This year’s EcoVadis assessment introduced new parameters in every category and added an entirely new section on Sustainable Procurement. Yet, for the third consecutive year, we retained our top score of 82 out of 100, placing us well above the industry average and among the highest-ranked companies globally.
"Ecolean has clearly demonstrated how every department has contributed to increasing competence, improving transparency, and meeting the new, more extensive requirements. For example, we have initiated our CSRD work, developed the Group Procurement process, conducted internal sustainability training worldwide focusing on ESG and EPDs, run the Ecolean Academy, and held workshops on GHG. These efforts confirm that our collective commitment has not only strengthened our position but has also had a real impact on our sustainability work and the transparency we have created, particularly through our EPDs for packaging and machines.”

Looking ahead: innovation and transparency
Ecolean will continue its sustainability journey with a strong focus on measurable goals, transparency, and ESG.
"Moving forward, Ecolean will continue to strengthen our sustainability efforts, with a particular focus on innovation, transparency, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). We see it as our collective responsibility to integrate sustainability into every part of our business and continuously strive for improvement, ensuring that we make a real difference for both our planet and our society.”
— Maria Ahlström
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this achievement – let’s continue working together for a more sustainable future!
