Haselünne, January 10, 2024 - Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft has been awarded the gold medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating for the third time in a row. With this year's result, the corporate group is now among the top two per cent of all companies assessed.

"We are delighted to receive this award once again for our work in the area of sustainability. It encourages us to continue pursuing the path we have taken with regard to ecological, economic and social aspects," says Laura Schlochtermeier, Head of Sustainability at the Berentzen Group.

The EcoVadis Sustainability Rating evaluates companies in the four areas of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The result shows how well a company has integrated the principles of sustainability into its business and management system. To date, around 100,000 companies have taken part in the provider's sustainability assessments. This makes one of the most important sustainability ratings worldwide.

"In the latest rating, we were even able to surpass our very good result from the previous year. Among other things, the certification of our environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001 and the introduction of a sustainability-related risk management and control system contributed to this. This clearly shows that we are not resting on our laurels, but are constantly working on pushing ahead with our sustainability activities with new projects and ideas," concludes Schlochtermeier.
