The Hilti Group has achieved a Gold rating in the EcoVadis assessment for the fourth consecutive year, placing the company in the top 2% of over 130,000 companies evaluated across all industries worldwide and in the top 1% in the industry segment.
EcoVadis has once again declared Hilti to be a ‘leader in carbon management’ and a ‘company with a best-in-class greenhouse gas management system and strong ambitions for decarbonisation.’ This outstanding rating is also based on Hilti’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which aims for a significant carbon footprint reduction by 2032 and net zero emissions by 2050.
“We are honoured to see our efforts in sustainability once again recognised," says Jahangir Doongaji, CEO of the Hilti Group. “We will continue to diligently work on our initiatives to be our customers’ best partner for sustainability."
EcoVadis evaluates companies against a total of 21 criteria in four primary categories – environment, labor and human rights, business ethics and sustainable procurement. The evaluation criteria are based on international sustainability standards such as the principles of the UN Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labor Organisation, the Global Reporting Initiative standard, ISO 26000 and the principles of the Certification of Environmental Standards.
