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.”
