TÜV Rheinland Recognized for Sustainability Excellence

TÜV Rheinland, a leader in testing services, has been awarded the prestigious Gold rating by EcoVadis, the world’s premier provider of sustainability ratings. Scoring an impressive 80 out of 100, this achievement places TÜV Rheinland in the top 5% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis. This marks an improvement from last year's score of 79, showcasing the company's ongoing dedication to enhancing sustainability across its operations.

Dr. Michael Fübi, CEO of TÜV Rheinland AG, expressed that "our vision is a world that is always safe and sustainable - today and tomorrow." The Gold rating serves as a testament to TÜV Rheinland's commitment to sustainability and its effective strategies that align with global eco-standards.

EcoVadis evaluates companies on their sustainability performance across four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Remarkably, TÜV Rheinland achieved a score of 80 in all four categories, particularly excelling in sustainable procurement. Katharina Riese, Head of Corporate Sustainability, emphasized that "the rating is one of the most significant assessments of a company’s sustainability performance worldwide and is increasingly required in tenders and contracts."

Since participating in the EcoVadis rating since 2019, TÜV Rheinland has made notable strides in various sustainable practices. Key initiatives have included the integration of human rights due diligence into corporate processes, ensuring equal treatment and non-discrimination, and enhancing certifications related to environmental and occupational safety.

Moreover, TÜV Rheinland conducts thorough internal and external reporting on sustainability indicators, constantly championing information security certification and whistleblower procedures to maintain corporate transparency.

TÜV Rheinland's efforts aren't limited to their internal practices. The company also offers consulting services for organizations looking to improve their own sustainability efforts. Their expertise spans testing and certification in sustainable energy, infrastructure, mobility, as well as workplace and corporate management. Notably, they are proficient in emissions measurement, green hydrogen applications, and occupational safety implementations.

Sustainability continues to be a global concern for TÜV Rheinland, prompting them to actively engage in dialogue with stakeholders in various sectors to collaboratively foster a sustainable future. As a long-standing member of the UN Global Compact since 2006, the company aligns itself with some of the most critical principles for responsible corporate behavior.
