The EcoVadis sustainability rating, one of the world’s largest providers for evaluating ESG activities (ESG: Environmental, Social, and Governance), assesses criteria across the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, awarding medals annually. With a score of 87 out of a possible 100 points, Pfleiderer now ranks in the top 1 percent of the approximately 130,000 companies assessed. Key factors contributing to this success include advancements in environmental protection, the introduction of additional metrics in ESG reporting, and top scores in labor/human rights and procurement.
"As they say, it gets tougher at the top. All the more remarkable is our continued rise into the absolute elite of the EcoVadis ranking,” emphasizes Dr. Frank Herrmann, CEO of the Pfleiderer Group. “We have always said that we won’t rest on our laurels and are committed to ongoing improvement. This top accolade is a testament to the tireless work of the entire Pfleiderer team, especially during these economically challenging times. A heartfelt thank you to all our employees!”

PCF GmbH (Pfleiderer) has once again been recognized for its ESG achievements. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) stands for Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance. Just like last year, the independent rating agency Morningstar / Sustainalytics has confirmed through their ESG risk assessment the excellent position and exemplary development of Pfleiderer in the field of sustainable corporate governance.
In comparison to the previous year, the company was able to further improve its position to the highest rating level and continues to be among the champions in the international construction materials industry. After achieving a very good third place last year, Pfleiderer has now risen to the 2nd rank out of all 149 evaluated companies in the building materials sector. In the overall comparison, Pfleiderer ranks among the top 2 percent of all over 15,000 globally assessed companies.
Dr. Frank Herrmann, CEO of the Pfleiderer Group, explains: "Pfleiderer's commitment to sustainability has a long tradition. For several years, we have firmly anchored this in our strategic direction and expanded as well as intensified our ESG activities. After numerous awards from external sources, I am pleased, along with the entire team, about the Sustainalytics rating improvement and the renewed top placement."
