Bracco Imaging Wins Second EcoVadis Platinum Medal

On July 20, 2026, Bracco Imaging announced a remarkable achievement: the company has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for the second year in a row. This honor, which represents the highest tier of recognition from EcoVadis, recognizes the unparalleled commitment of Bracco to sustainability and eco-friendly practices in its operations. This latest accolade places Bracco in an elite group, as it ranks among the top 1% of the companies assessed by EcoVadis over the past year.

Bracco Imaging's journey towards sustainability has been nothing short of impressive. After initially receiving Gold Medals for two consecutive years, the company reached Platinum status in 2025 and has worked diligently to maintain this top-tier recognition. In its recent evaluation, Bracco also increased its overall score from 83 to 91, reflecting significant gains across all four assessment categories that EcoVadis evaluates.

"Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum Medal again is a tremendous acknowledgment of the dedication our teams have shown in integrating sustainability into every facet of our business," stated Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, Vice Chairman and CEO of Bracco Imaging. He added, "This achievement is significant as it not only indicates our continued peak performance but also highlights measurable improvement in our practices. An increase in our score to 91/100 attests to the robustness of our sustainability management system and reinforces our commitment to fostering trust among our customers, partners, employees, and communities through responsible growth and long-term value creation."

The impressive score reflects ongoing advancement and strengthening of sustainability practices throughout the Bracco Group. Their focus has not only been on improving internal practices but also enhancing the quality and transparency of the data they report. Some notable initiatives include expanding ISO certification coverage across production facilities and revising procurement-related practices for better sustainability outcomes.

Moreover, Bracco Imaging’s commitment to transparency is exemplified in their 2025 Sustainability Report. This report, grounded in nearly thirty years of environmental disclosure, outlines measurable progress, sets future targets, and aligns the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks with its overarching business operations. The report showcases Bracco’s strategic focus on delivering reliable and useful sustainability information.

Looking ahead, Bracco's strategy to further enhance sustainability includes actively developing responsible sourcing practices, expanding the collection and verification of sustainability data, and integrating sustainability considerations across its operations and supply chain.
