In the latest assessment, Röhlig further improved its overall score, despite rising industry benchmarks. The company is now ranked among the top 5 percent of companies assessed worldwide by EcoVadis, a leading provider of business sustainability ratings that evaluates companies on the quality of their sustainability management systems and practices.
Röhlig Logistics has made progress in all four EcoVadis assessment categories, including environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Notable achievements contributing to the improved rating include:
- GRI alignment: Further aligning our disclosures to ensure they are in accordance with the GRI Standards and improve comparability and consistency.
- Sustainable procurement: Embedding the IntegrityNext system to strengthen sustainable procurement and deepen supplier engagement.
- Environmental management systems: Expanding ISO 14001 coverage and strengthening environmental management system across our global network.
- Operational initiatives: Continuing implementation of sustainability-related measures across the network, including the biofuel offer and related roll-out activities.
‘Receiving the EcoVadis gold medal for the first time is an important recognition of the progress we are making across our organisation,’ said Philip W. Herwig, Managing Partner at Röhlig Logistics. ‘Sustainability continues to gain importance for our customers, partners, and stakeholders, and this achievement strengthens our credibility and supports our ongoing efforts to integrate responsible business practices into all areas of our operations.'
Röhlig continues to advance its sustainability agenda through targeted initiatives and transparent reporting. Beyond reporting and policy development, the company actively participates in the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.
