With the gold award, we are among the top 5 per cent of all companies assessed - with 80 total points, we are even among the top 2 per cent.
We were particularly successful with advanced management systems in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights. Our commitment to the goals and principles of recognized organizations such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the UN Global Compact also played a positive role in the assessment.
The fact that we were awarded gold status – unlike in 2023 – is due to a change in the assessment basis and constantly increasing requirements. At least 85 points are now required to achieve platinum status, i.e. the top 1 per cent.
Our continuously increasing score on the EcoVadis scorecard confirms our sustainability endeavors and is also an incentive to consistently pursue our goals.
Our thoughts and actions go far beyond legal requirements
We work every day to improve the lives of millions of people and help them to improve their quality of life with the medicines we fill. In all dimensions – economic, ecological and social – we act responsibly, sustainably and with foresight.
