Sihl has once again achieved a silver award in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating by EcoVadis.
EcoVadis’ goal is to improve environmental and social practices through the consistent use of global supply chains. The Silver Award confirms the high priority of social responsibility at Sihl, where sustainability is a central element of corporate strategy and an important success factor.
The term CSR stands for the social responsibility of companies in the sense of sustainable economic activity. The CSR rating is based on 21 criteria, divided into the four themes: environment, working conditions and human rights, fair business practices and sustainable procurement. The valuation methodology is based on international CSR standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000.
As part of the CSR rating, Sihl GmbH was tested for these aspects, and was among the top 17 percent of all participating companies. The award confirms that CSR initiatives such as improvements in resource consumption, a high level of safety in the workplace, training and qualification offers, responsible use of products and social commitment are elementary components of Sihl’s corporate commerce.
The rating agency EcoVadis, based in Paris, France operates the first platform that enables companies to analyse and evaluate the performance of their business partners across 150 industries and 110 countries.
