Our journey towards Sustainable Procurement began in 2022, with the launch of our Sustainable Procurement Strategy and clearly defined Sustainability Criteria – which all A-Suppliers must meet by 2030 at the latest.
We appreciate the positive engagement from our key suppliers and partners! Today, over 50% of our third-party spend is with suppliers who have secured an EcoVadis ESG rating – a significant step forward. Even more encouraging, more than 25% of our spend is now represented by suppliers who have set a Science Based Target (SBT) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our 2024 Sustainability Report confirms strong progress in these areas.
