Teknos has placed itself within top 5% of the companies assessed by EcoVadis.
Teknos Group has recently received the EcoVadis gold medal, a prize that rewards the sustainability performance
of the company in 2021. Teknos has placed itself within the top 5% of the businesses rated by EcoVadis all over the world.
More than 90,000 companies from over 160 countries have already been assessed by EcoVadis in four categories: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. Teknos performed best in the Environmental part with a score of 80/100 and reached a good level also in Labor and Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement.
“We are pleased that our persistent work in developing our operations and products to be more sustainable has been recognized with the EcoVadis gold medal. To be included in the top 5% of all companies is a great milestone for us and proves our strong commitment towards sustainability for our external and internal stakeholders,” stated Paula Salastie, the CEO and Owner of Teknos Group. “Being able to improve from bronze to gold level within just a few years is a significant step forward and shows us that our direction is right. At the same time, this recognition will also inspire us to aim even higher.”
Sustainability plays an important role in the growth and expansion strategy of the coating solutions provider Teknos, that had already received the Eco-Lighthouse Certification for its Norwegian premises. The participation in EcoVadis sustainable programme also allows the transparency of the whole value chain, as it enables customers to monitor the sustainability performance of Teknos.
“For us being sustainable is more than emissions. It is also about creating a great place to work and long-term relationships with all our stakeholders. This is measured by proudness of being part of the Teknos Family,” concluded Salastie.
