Munich, Dec 17, 2025

WACKER has again been awarded the 2025 Gold Medal by EcoVadis, an external rating agency. This medal honors sustainable action and responsible corporate management. This puts WACKER in the top 5 percent of all companies (more than 1,000) rated by EcoVadis. WACKER improved its overall score from 77 points in 2024 to 79 this year. The decisive factors here were higher scores due to more comprehensive reporting and the implementation of measures that mainly focused on Scope 3 emissions and ethics. “The result confirms our initiatives in many key areas. It provides our customers with invaluable proof,” says Peter Gigler, head of WACKER’s ESG department.

The EcoVadis score (ranging from 0 to 100) reflects the quality of a company’s sustainability management system at the time of the assessment. Its methodology is based on international sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO 26000 standard. A scorecard is used to evaluate sustainability performance on the basis of 21 indicators and the four subject areas of environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

WACKER shares the EcoVadis questionnaire with its customers, offering them standardized and recognized proof of its own sustainability measures. WACKER has set ambitious sustainability goals for itself. By 2030, the company’s absolute greenhouse gas emissions are to be 50 percent lower (compared to 2020). Currently, 30 percent of absolute greenhouse gas emissions have already been reduced (as of 2024). By 2045, WACKER hopes to achieve net zero, which means it would no longer emit any net CO₂ whatsoever.
