The implementation of our sustainability criteria is progressing steadily
Our A-Suppliers continued to support our journey toward 2030 throughout 2025 by advancing the implementation of our sustainability criteria. The progress is encouraging, and we remain confident that we will achieve our targets.
With an impressive 20% increase compared to 2024 we have now secured acceptance of our Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Subcontractors from more than 80% of our A-Suppliers. In our recent article we highlighted the rise in the average EcoVadis Score among our A-Suppliers. Additionally, a further 12% have shared their EcoVadis Scorecard with GEA. While the sharing of science-based targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not developing at the same pace as the other criteria, we are confident that our A-Suppliers will accelerate their efforts in the coming years. Our 2025 Sustainability Report also confirms strong progress in these areas.
