LANCOM has participated in the globally recognized EcoVadis sustainability rating every year since 2015. Performance monitoring evaluates the supply chain and helps to improve aspects of sustainability. The EcoVadis rating includes 21 sustainability criteria covering the four core topics of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
More than 130,000 companies worldwide rely on EcoVadis' independent assessment to objectively evaluate themselves and their supply chain and to improve the environmental and social processes of their suppliers. The aims are to reduce risk, accelerate innovation, and foster transparency and mutual trust in business relations.
Ralf Koenzen, founder and Managing Director at LANCOM Systems, is proud: “We have excelled in the EcoVadis sustainability rating since 2015. Despite tougher new requirements, we renewed our Silver status and further improved our score. This outstanding result would not be possible without teamwork. At LANCOM, we have gained a cross-team and cross-departmental understanding of sustainability. We see responsible business practice as a major issue and an important commitment. The Silver medal motivates us to keep moving in this direction.”
