A sustainable supply chain in silver

PURELL®, as a leading brand for hand hygiene and hand cleanliness, takes the responsibility for a healthier environment seriously. We believe that everyone can contribute and that together we can make a big difference. That is why we place so much emphasis on ensuring that our products not only meet growing hygiene demands, but also build a sustainable future. To this end, we set ourselves ambitious sustainability goals and pursue their implementation with vigour.

As part of those sustainability efforts, we are pleased to have been awarded the EcoVadis silver medal again this year.

 

With a magnifying glass for change

Sustainability is the combined environmental, social and ethical performance of a company. The supply chain of our products has the greatest influence on positive change and impact. Looking at this in detail and taking a closer look products is therefore an important approach to more sustainable corporate management and a future-oriented focus.

We have partnered with Ecovadis, the real experts in this space to help us audit our results accurately.

 

Transparency and deeper insights

EcoVadis is the world's largest and most trusted provider of corporate sustainability ratings and has built an international network of more than 100,000 rated companies since its founding in 2007. The rating platform determines sustainability along the entire supply chain, with the aim of creating more transparency between business partners. In addition, EcoVadis wants to offer participating companies new insights into their own supply chain and thus a means to improve in terms of sustainability. By means of an online questionnaire, various questions from the four overarching categories of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement are asked, depending on the size, sector and location of the company. The content is based on ISO 26000, the guidelines on social responsibility and various reporting standards (including the Global Reporting Initiative and the UN Global Compact).

 

Visibility through expert ranking

By awarding medals, EcoVadis helps the participating companies to make their sustainability efforts visible. For this purpose, a distinction is made between 4 different medals: from bronze, through silver and gold to platinum. The ratings are made up of the percentage rank of the topic minimum points, on a scale from 0 to 100 points. The overall rating is a snapshot of the company's sustainability management at the time of the assessment.

We are proud to have been awarded the silver medal by EcoVadis again this year, making us one of the top 25% of companies globally.

This is a great motivation to continue our path of sustainability.
