SIG again demonstrates its sustainability excellence by achieving platinum status for its outstanding performance, earning a record score of 99/100 in its 2025 assessment. Platinum places SIG among the top 1% of companies assessed globally and marks the seventh consecutive year that the company has received the prestigious platinum medal.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. With more than 130,000 companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide, this recognition significantly validates SIG’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
SIG’s 2025 results demonstrate continued excellence and progress in all areas of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The company received scores of 100 out of 100 in Environment and Labor & Human Rights and improved its Ethics and Sustainable Procurement scores compared to the previous year.
“Achieving 99 points on EcoVadis is a remarkable milestone for SIG,” said Karina Boers, Director Group Corporate Responsibility at SIG. “We always strive for better. Our steady progress in the EcoVadis rankings since earning platinum status for the first time in 2017 demonstrates our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible business practices. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our teams as we work towards our ambition to contribute more to people and the planet than we take.”
“All of this is only possible because sustainability is embedded across all business functions and processes at SIG. Our platinum status reflects the collective efforts of teams working together – from environmental management, responsible sourcing, health & safety, labor and human rights, business ethics and cyber security. We don’t just make commitments; we deliver measurable results through action, continuous improvement, and transparency,” added Christian Bauer, Head of Environmental Sustainability at SIG.
EcoVadis’ business sustainability ratings are based on international standards, including the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and ISO 26000. The ratings offer an evidence-based analysis of performance and a roadmap for continuous improvement.
