A focus on four themes
The evaluation looks at the areas environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The latter assessment is particularly impressive, with HELU ranking among the top 3% of companies in the industry evaluated by EcoVadis. This result underscores HELU’s commitment to integrating sustainability criteria into its procurement processes to a greater degree.
“This silver medal is recognition for the collaborative work of many colleagues. The nine-point improvement shows that we have taken steps forward. At the same time, we see the evaluation as motivation to continue improving our efforts and to more strongly anchor sustainability in our processes,” says Katharina Lehr, Sustainability and ESG Manager at HELU.
Making improvements with goals in sight
The EcoVadis rating provides HELU with external confirmation that we are on the right track and orientation for where we are headed next.
