GEA colabora estrechamente con sus proveedores en cuestiones de sostenibilidad. Nuestros proveedores preferentes deben cumplir nuestros criterios de sostenibilidad antes de 2026 para mantener su condición de proveedor preferente. Para 2030, todos nuestros proveedores de clase A deberán cumplir nuestros criterios de sostenibilidad.
Seguimos de cerca la implementación para garantizar el éxito previsto. Nuestros criterios de sostenibilidad se debaten con frecuencia en las reuniones con nuestros proveedores, donde se discuten y acuerdan los planes y conclusiones necesarios.

Driving Sustainable Impact Across Our Supply Chain
At GEA, we set clear expectations for our suppliers as part of delivering on our ambitious sustainability strategy. Achieving our goals—decarbonization, safeguarding human rights and labor standards, and advancing the circular use of resources—requires strong commitment and collaboration across our entire supply base.

Update to GEA’s Supplier Sustainability Engagement Program: Increased Focus on Primary Data
With the beginning of 2026, redefined sustainability criteria at GEA are applied within the Supplier Sustainability Engagement Program to reflect the growing importance of primary data for purchased goods and services.
Our existing requirements remain unchanged, including adherence to the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Subcontractors, participation in EcoVadis assessments, and the establishment of science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets.
The updated program, Supplier Engagement 2.0, introduces a more differentiated approach that takes the diversity of supplier industries and company sizes into account. Where the potential impact on people and the environment is greatest, suppliers will be asked to provide more detailed primary data, particularly relating to CO₂ emissions, raw material usage, and recycling rates.
Further details will be provided in a comprehensive guidance booklet to be published at the beginning of Q2 2026.

Supplier sustainability training
Human rights are non-negotiable for GEA, neither in our own operations nor in our supply chain. Our partner econsense provides training modules (videos + handbooks) on this topic, which we would like to recommend to our suppliers and business partners.
The training modules give both buyers and suppliers an understanding of the legal and normative requirements in the context of respecting and safeguarding human rights and provide an initial introduction to the topic. All videos and manuals are available in four different languages (English, German, Spanish and Chinese) and can be accessed via the econsense website.
