Certification

With the sustainability journey firmly embedded in our group’s strategy, we know our actions make a positive difference to people’s lives and to the planet at large. To monitor progress, gain recognition for our achievements, and ensure we continue improving our outcomes, Lhoist Europe has chosen to undergo a performance assessment through EcoVadis, a widely respected third-party organization. EcoVadis provides reliable and globally recognized sustainability ratings and insights.

In assessing companies, EcoVadis awards a score between 0 and 100 as well as a bronze, silver, gold or platinum medal depending on a company’s rating. The assessment covers a broad range of management systems, addressing aspects such as environmental practices, labor and human rights, ethics, and the impacts of sustainable procurement. Each company is rated on pertinent issues related to its size, location, and industry.

We are proud to report that 10 of our countries were rewarded with gold or silver medals. The UK, Denmark, Czech Republic, and Spain received gold medals, while France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, and Slovakia received a silver one. These encouraging results reward the multiple actions of our teams and show that we have made significant progress across our regions, demonstrating our growing commitment to sustainability.
