HERMA, a leading manufacturer of precision labeling machines for a variety of sectors, has earned a gold medal from EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted sustainability ratings platforms. This marks the first time HERMA has achieved gold, following two consecutive silver medals in previous years. This prestigious accolade places HERMA among the top 5 percent of more than 150,000 companies evaluated by EcoVadis worldwide over the past 12 months.
EcoVadis is a globally recognized assessment platform that provides businesses with sustainability ratings, evaluating them based on environmental, social, and ethical performance. HERMA’s improved rating underscores the company’s deepened commitment to sustainable practices and transparent operations.
Key factors contributing to HERMA’s gold-level rating include a high degree of transparency in public reporting, the development and publication of a detailed sustainability report, and the company’s ongoing efforts to implement impactful sustainability initiatives across all areas of operation.
"Our climate target, which was officially confirmed by the renowned Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) at the end of 2024, also contributed to this excellent result,” said Elise Keuler, Sustainability Manager. “This means that HERMA is making its contribution to achieving the 1.5 degrees climate goal by 2030.”
As part of the SBTi, companies voluntarily commit to science-based targets that reflect the actual measures needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by the year 2100. This temperature pathway - established by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement - is recognized as the most ambitious and necessary for minimizing the long-term impacts of climate change.
