Eutecma awarded EcoVadis Gold: environmental responsibility as business value for customers
Recognized for outstanding environmental and CSR performance
Eutecma has achieved the EcoVadis Gold Medal, with an overall score of 82/100, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed. The company performs particularly strongly in the Environment pillar, where it scored 87/100, its best individual result. The rating, confirmed on October 1, 2026, is an internationally recognized assessment that demonstrates the quality of the company’s CSR.
“The EcoVadis Gold Medal is a wonderful confirmation of our work,” says Nicole Schäfer, Team Lead SCM. “But it is also a motivation: sustainability at eutecma is not a project with an end date, but a process that we develop further every day.” The Gold Medal thus reflects eutecma’s consistent commitment to environmental responsibility, ethical conduct, and forward-looking supply chain management, as well as the personal dedication of every individual on the team.
More than certificates and ratings
For eutecma, its commitment does not end with certificates and ratings. “EcoVadis Gold is a strong result and confirms the path we have chosen,” says Denis Ziegler, Head of HR (Global). “Our aim is to embed sustainability permanently in our structures and decisions, and to create measurable added value for customers and the company.”
As a service-oriented partner, eutecma holds itself to the standard that environmentally responsible action must also deliver measurable benefits for its customers. By combining responsible business practices with innovative solutions, eutecma helps its business partners improve both their environmental footprint and their operational efficiency.
Enabling the circular economy: the retecma Refreshment Center
A key example is the retecma Refreshment Center. It puts the circular loop approach into consistent practice: the service life of reusable transport packaging is extended, and valuable materials flow back into the supply chain. Instead of replacing packaging after its first use, customers benefit from refurbishment and reuse solutions that conserve resources and reduce waste.
Helping customers reduce CO₂ emissions and costs
The benefits go far beyond waste reduction. Because less new material is needed and products remain in use for longer, CO₂ emissions can be reduced, resource efficiency increased, and procurement and replacement costs lowered.
Resource conservation thus shifts from a pure compliance requirement to a practical way of achieving environmental goals while realizing measurable cost savings. Packaging becomes a valuable resource that stays in circulation for longer and creates ecological and economic value at the same time.
Added value beyond compliance
The combination of the EcoVadis Gold Medal, ISO 14001 certification, and the circular solutions of the retecma Refreshment Center underscores eutecma’s strong environmental performance and the cold chain packaging specialist’s commitment to developing it continuously.
Eutecma sees the environment not only as a task within its own walls: it actively supports its customers on the path to their environmental goals. After all, from eutecma’s perspective, the most effective initiatives are those from which everyone involved benefits. Together with its partners, eutecma is shaping a more circular, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly future.
