FORUM Bronze, silver, and platinum Three awards for commitment to sustainability EcoVadis is one of the world‘s leading providers of sustainability ratings, supporting companies in achieving their sustainability goals. It assesses companies based on 21 criteria across four areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Only companies with a strong sustainability management system and above-average performance compared to other assessed companies are awarded medals. Bronze for the HARTMANN GROUP The current EcoVadis assessment confirms that the HARTMANN GROUP has successfully implemented many effective sustainability measures and is therefore well on track: According to the assessment, HARTMANN ranks in the top 35% of all companies audited by EcoVadis in the last twelve months. The group ranks among the top 18% in the overall assessment and among the top 4% in the environmental category. The HARTMANN GROUP also clearly exceeds the industry average in the labour and human rights and sustainable procurement categories, ranking among the top 15% and top 12%, respectively. Silver for the Herbrechtingen site In the latest reassessment, the HARTMANN site in Herbrechtingen was awarded a silver rating by EcoVadis. This places the site among the top 3% of companies in the medical and dental equipment and materials industry that have recently been assessed. It performed particularly well in the areas of ethics (top 2%), labour and human rights (top 3%), and the environment (top 4%). It also achieved excellent results in sustainable procurement (top 5%). Triple confirmation: platinum again for Kneipp Kneipp, a subsidiary of the HARTMANN Group, has an impressive sustainability success story: It has achieved the EcoVadis Platinum rating for the third time, placing it among the top 1% of all audited companies worldwide. This recognises the company‘s commitment to finding environmentally friendly, socially responsible and economically viable solutions. The EcoVadis rating also recognises the continuous improvement of internal processes. The bar for top ratings is raised every year. Nevertheless, in 2025, Kneipp improved its result: for the first time, the company was awarded the highest rating of ‘excellent‘ in all categories. The commitment has paid off: This year, the HARTMANN GROUP, as well as its individual sites and subsidiaries, were awarded medals by EcoVadis in recognition of their commitment to sustainability.
