EcoVadis silver medal recognises commitment to sustainability

Lauda Dr R. Wobser GmbH & Co KG, a global leader in temperature control systems, has earned a silver medal from EcoVadis, ranking among the top 15% of companies worldwide with a score of 70 out of 100.

EcoVadis evaluates firms on 21 sustainability criteria covering environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement - based on international standards including the UN Global Compact and ISO 26000. Over 85,000 companies have been assessed globally.

This award recognises Lauda’s strong sustainability management and strategic initiatives. “This confirms our belief that sustainable business and success go hand in hand,” said Dr Gunther Wobser, Lauda’s President & CEO. “It’s a key milestone in our sustainability journey.”

A major factor was Lauda’s 2023 sustainability report, published in late 2024, which transparently documented its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. “Clear reporting of our ESG actions was vital to the assessment,” explained Dr Marc Stricker, Managing Director and head of quality and environmental management.

Lauda also enhanced sustainability policies, expanded data collection, and produced comprehensive reports - including a CSRD report aligned with new European standards - strengthening internal processes and transparency.

“We’re proud these efforts led to measurable progress,” added Dr Stricker, “validating our strategic approach.”

Looking ahead, Lauda will use EcoVadis insights in customer dialogue and continue refining its sustainability strategy and ESG reporting.
