EcoVadis Gold for Lohmann: Greater Transparency and Confidence for Our Customers

After earning Silver in 2025, the Lohmann Tape Group further improved its EcoVadis rating and achieved Gold for the first time. With 83 out of 100 points, we rank among the top 5% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide. For our customers, this means greater transparency, a reliable basis for procurement decisions, and the confidence of working with an independently assessed partner. 

Requirements for transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain are increasing. Our customers need to evaluate suppliers reliably, pursue their own sustainability targets, and meet growing reporting requirements. 

Lohmann supports them with clear structures, documented measures, and an increasingly consistent data basis. The EcoVadis Gold Medal independently confirms that we have systematically embedded environmental and social topics, ethics, and sustainable procurement throughout our organization. 

Our performance also stands out within our industry: Lohmann ranks among the top 2% of companies in our industry assessed by EcoVadis. 

Transparency for Informed Procurement Decisions 

Sustainability performance creates value for customers when it is transparently documented and independently verifiable. Our progress offers existing and potential customers: 

• transparent and traceable information about our sustainability performance

• documented structures and measures across all four EcoVadis assessment areas

• a sound basis for supplier evaluations and procurement decisions

• information they can use to meet their own sustainability and reporting requirements 

• the opportunity to work with a partner that continuously develops its sustainability management and has it regularly assessed by an independent third party  

EcoVadis Gold makes our performance independently verifiable and strengthens confidence in Lohmann as a responsible, long-term partner.

Progress Across All Four Assessment Areas 

Compared with our previous assessment, we improved our score in all four EcoVadis assessment areas: 

• Environment: 88/100 – an increase of 11 points; top 2% in our industry

• Labor & Human Rights: 77/100 – an increase of 14 points; top 5% in our industry

• Ethics: 87/100 – an increase of 15 points; top 1% in our industry

• Sustainable Procurement: 83/100 – an increase of 9 points; top 1% in our industry  

The Sustainable Procurement assessment is particularly relevant. It considers, among other factors, how sustainability requirements are embedded, implemented, and monitored throughout the supply chain. This is also important for customers seeking to ensure transparency and responsible practices within their own upstream value chains. 

What Is Behind This Progress 

The improvements across all four areas reflect numerous activities throughout the Lohmann Group. These include our global sustainability strategy with measurable targets, a more consistent international data basis, enhanced compliance and governance structures, and the validation of our climate targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi - Learn more about the validation of our climate targets by the SBTi). Together, these efforts enable us to manage our sustainability performance systematically, measure progress, and provide our customers with greater transparency. 

“EcoVadis Gold confirms that our sustainability strategy and the measures derived from it are delivering measurable results. For our customers, this provides greater transparency and a reliable basis for evaluating Lohmann as a supplier.” 

Katharina Candia, Head of Sustainability

Gold as Recognition and Motivation 

Our first EcoVadis Gold Medal confirms the progress we have made in recent years. At the same time, the assessment shows us where we can continue to improve. 

We will continue to strengthen our global sustainability management, increase the transparency of our performance, and consistently translate our targets into measurable progress – for our customers and the long-term resilience of our business.
