KERN is delighted to have once again been awarded EcoVadis Silver status. This certifies that KERN has successfully observed and implemented its ESG (environmental, social and governance) practices and procedures.
EcoVadis is a leading global provider of sustainability and ESG assessments for companies, evaluating their CSR (corporate social responsibility) performance in the areas of environment, work practices, human rights, fair business practices and procurement. More than 100,000 companies have already been assessed by EcoVadis.
"We are proud to have achieved EcoVadis Silver status and see it as recognition of our efforts to be a responsible company. At the same time, maintaining this status motivates us to continue working on our sustainability management and to further exert our efforts,"said Dr Thomas Kern, Managing Director and Member of the KERN Management Board. "We are particularly pleased that our rating places us among the top 25 per cent of companies assessed by EcoVadis."
This encourages KERN to continue addressing issues of corporate social responsibility and to further expand its activities in this direction. For KERN this means constantly and critically scrutinising its own business practices with regard to sustainability and social aspects and initiating changes in sustainability management.
KERN would like to thank EcoVadis for its thorough assessment and recognition of the company's efforts in the spheres of sustainability and social responsibility.
