What does it mean for Fedrigoni to be among the champions of sustainability?

9 September 2024

As of August 2024, Fedrigoni Group has been awarded the highest accolade, Platinum, by Ecovadis, the international ESG rating agency that annually examines more than 75,000 companies of all sizes and from 200 production sectors worldwide, evaluating their activities and management systems from the perspective of environmental care and social responsibility. The rating model is based on globally recognized standards such as GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), UNGC (United Nations Global Compact) and ISO 26000 and measures sustainability performance in relation to 4 macro-environments:

1. Environment;

2. Labor and Human Rights;

3. Ethics;

4. Sustainable Sourcing.

For the third consecutive year, we are proud to have earned the Platinum medal from EcoVadis, placing us within the top 1% of companies recognized for sustainability leadership. This year, we reached a score of 90/100, further improving from last year’s 88/100.

There are several factors by which we were able to achieve this result: clear and measurable ESG goals to 2030, a precise action plan, widespread accountability throughout the company, and transparent communication with performance trends over multiple years.

The Platinum Medal represents an important milestone, which is a source of pride for us. However, it is not an ending point, but rather an incentive to improve further.
