Gerresheimer, a global partner for the pharma, biotech, and cosmetic industries, has been awarded Gold by the sustainability rating provider EcoVadis for the second time. The company improved its overall score from 78 in 2025 to 82 out of 100 points in the latest assessment, according to a press release issued via NEWMEDIAWIRE. This places Gerresheimer among the top 5% of all companies evaluated by EcoVadis and within the top 2% in its industry.
EcoVadis evaluates more than 175,000 companies annually across four categories: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Gerresheimer has relied on EcoVadis for independent assessment since 2011. The company first achieved Gold status in 2022 with a score of 68, and has steadily improved its rating since then. The 2026 result underscores Gerresheimer’s progress in consistently implementing its sustainability targets.
“With the improved EcoVadis rating and our first voluntary report based on the CSRD, we are making our sustainability performance measurable and transparent for our customers,” said Wolf Lehmann, CFO of Gerresheimer AG. “We remain committed to consistently pursuing our ambitious sustainability targets in the future.”
Gerresheimer performs particularly well in sustainable procurement, ranking among the top 1% in its industry. This reflects the company’s focus on responsible supply chains as a key component of its overall sustainability performance. The EcoVadis assessment framework is based on internationally recognized standards, including the UN Global Compact, International Labor Organization conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative, ISO 26000, the CERES Principles, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
For the 2025 financial year, Gerresheimer voluntarily submitted an audited, non-financial consolidated report based on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for the first time. The report is available for download here. This move significantly advances the structure of the company’s sustainability reporting, providing transparent and comparable data.
In addition to EcoVadis, Gerresheimer discloses relevant data annually on the EcoVadis platform and as part of the CDP rating. The company is also evaluated by MSCI, Sustainalytics, and ISS. An overview of Gerresheimer’s external sustainability assessments is available here.
The improved rating and CSRD report matter because they demonstrate Gerresheimer’s commitment to measurable sustainability progress, which is increasingly important to customers, investors, and regulators. With clear performance indicators and independent assessments, the company ensures its progress is documented and benchmarked internationally.
