Gunnebo has achieved bronze EcoVadis status, affirming its dedication to sustainable business practices and corporate responsibility.

EcoVadis is a globally recognised sustainability rating platform that assesses the environmental and social performance of companies across various industries.

It evaluates a company’s performance based on four key categories: Environmental Impact, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

Significant improvement

In 2024, Gunnebo has been awarded a score of 62, reflecting a significant improvement from its 2023 score of 48.

This enhanced rating is a clear indicator of Gunnebo‘s progress on its sustainability journey.

“We are on a journey to establish a robust and sustainable business model that ensures solid long-term profitability,” said Stefan Syrén, President and CEO of Gunnebo.

“Our improved EcoVadis rating demonstrates we are on the right path.

“While we are still in the early stages of this transition, I am confident this Bronze Medal represents just the beginning. 

“We will continue to do all we can to strengthen our efforts for a better future.”

Gunnebo has been intensifying its sustainability efforts with a focus on building a resilient business that delivers long-term profitability.

According to the company, a cornerstone of these efforts is the Company’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 under the Science Based Targets Initiative.

This goal aims to decarbonise Gunnebo’s entire business model.

A long-term approach

“I am pleased with our progress in improving our rating from last year and also acutely aware of the continued need for improvement,” added Per Hökfelt, Head of Sustainability at Gunnebo.

“I firmly believe in a long-term approach to sustainability, which involves laying the groundwork for future profitability by steadily moving towards net-zero emissions.”
