Sustainability assessments

Sustainability and corporate performance

Sustainability ratings contribute to a company’s positioning

In addition to our own sustainability reports, we use two external platforms to assess our sustainability management: EcoVadis and SEDEX.

Both tools enable a comprehensive analysis of our sustainability practices. The insights gained from these assessments help us continuously evaluate our performance and identify areas for improvement and untapped potential. The results are available transparently.

EcoVadis

Comprehensive Sustainability Assessments

EcoVadis is an international collaboration platform for sustainability ratings, comparing companies based on a wide range of criteria. Its goal is to make the quality of corporate responsibility (CR) management systems transparent and comparable.

The regular assessments help THIMM to review its own sustainability practices, set benchmarks, and plan improvement measures.
