Gerresheimer among the top 1% in the industry
Since 2011, Gerresheimer has relied on EcoVadis to have its sustainability management independently assessed across four different dimensions. In 2022, Gerresheimer achieved gold status for the first time with 68 out of 100 points and further improved its overall rating in the following years. In 2025, the company once again increased its score to 78 out of 100 points, placing Gerresheimer not only among the best 4% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis but also within the top 1% of its industry.
Internationally recognized sustainability rating
EcoVadis' extensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment 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 the performance of companies in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, taking into account industry-specific characteristics. Additionally, EcoVadis incorporates a wide range of publicly available information such as news, NGO reports, government publications and court rulings into its assessment as part of its 360° monitoring.
Sustainability as an integral part of corporate strategy
As part of its formula g corporate strategy, Gerresheimer has set ambitious goals to achieve measurable progress in climate protection, circular economy, responsible supply chains, and social responsibility. With clear performance indicators, regular transparent reporting, and independent assessments, Gerresheimer ensures that progress is documented comprehensively and can be compared with international benchmarks.
Gerresheimer publishes an annual sustainability report and discloses relevant data on the EcoVadis platform and as part of the CDP rating. In addition, MSCI, Sustainalytics and ISS assess the company's sustainability performance. An overview of Gerresheimer's external sustainability ratings can be found here.
