This achievement marks a significant step forward in our long-standing commitment to creating innovative, future-ready solutions.
A Journey Rooted in Responsibility
Our sustainability story began over 25 years ago. Since 1998, we’ve published an annual Sustainability Report within the Follmann Chemie Gruppe, transparently documenting our efforts to balance economic success with environmental and social responsibility. In 2015, we took this commitment further by partnering with EcoVadis—an internationally recognized platform that evaluates companies across key sustainability metrics: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
By 2023, our hard work earned us a SILVER rating, placing us in the top 13% of our industry. But we knew there was more to do. With bold investments and a renewed focus on sustainability, we set our sights higher—and in 2025, we’ve reached GOLD.
The Numbers Behind the Success
This milestone reflects substantial progress across all evaluated areas, with our overall score climbing from 65 points (Silver) to an impressive 78 points (Gold). Here’s how we’ve advanced:
- Environment: From 70 to 81 points – reflecting our dedication to reducing environmental impact through smarter processes and innovation.
- Labor & Human Rights: From 60 to 76 points – showcasing our commitment to fair, safe, and inclusive workplaces.
