The assessments cover key areas such as environment, ethics, labor and human rights and sustainable procurement. Companies are scored on a scale of 0 to 100 and categorized into bronze, silver, gold, or platinum levels based on their performance. Those ranking in the top 5% receive the prestigious Gold Medal.

"We Shape Our Strategic Roadmap with a Holistic Approach"

As an industrial company focused on advanced materials, we understand that the good practices we implement in key areas—such as environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement—are contributing to positive transformations in all areas we touch. As a result of these efforts, Kordsa has been recognized in the top 5% of companies evaluated and has earned the Gold Medal. Having our responsible actions validated by platforms like EcoVadis not only strengthens our commitment to our sustainability approach but also motivates us to take even more determined steps forward.”
