EcoVadis Bronze Medal Marks Key Milestone in Gunnebo’s Sustainability Journey
Global security solutions specialist Gunnebo has achieved the prestigious bronze EcoVadis status, affirming its dedication to evolving 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.
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.
Stefan Syrén, President and CEO of Gunnebo comments. “We are on a journey to establish a robust and sustainable business model that ensures solid long-term profitability. 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.
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 ambitious goal aims to decarbonise Gunnebo’s entire business model.
The Company is dedicated to creating safe and diverse workplaces where employees are empowered to innovate and deliver top-quality products for customers and partners.
The notable improvement in Gunnebo’s EcoVadis rating not only highlights the progress made but also provides valuable insights into areas where the Company can further enhance its sustainability practices.
Per Hökfelt, Head of Sustainability at Gunnebo adds. “I am pleased with our progress in improving our rating from last year and also acutely aware of the continued need for improvement. 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.”
As Gunnebo continues to advance on its sustainability journey, the Company remains committed to making meaningful progress and setting new standards for sustainability in the security industry.
