Sustainability has long become a key factor for success in the plastics processing and producing industry. The increased public interest is no longer limited to individual controversial issues but demands transparent and comprehensible services from companies. Here, reliable key figures that make progress and improvements measurable and objectively assessable in comparison with other companies in the industry play a decisive role.
Already awarded silver at the premiere in 2022
With more than 150,000 listed companies and millions of company assessments, EcoVadis has become established to date as one of the most widely used standards for sustainability assessments. The standard set by the Paris agency in the selected individual categories is both high and broad. That’s why the response was particularly positive when KRAIBURG TPE was able to receive one of the popular EcoVadis silver awards in 2022, its first year of participation.
In 2025, KRAIBURG TPE received the gold medal for all sites worldwide for the first time – a result that illustrates the cooperation across sites and the commitment of all staff members. The award was confirmed at the highest level during the regular reassessment process in January 2026 – combined with further increases in individual ratings in all four categories. This emphasizes the continuous improvement and consistent implementation of the sustainability strategy on a global scale.
Continuity and persistence in achieving sustainability goals
“For us, this second Gold Award is conrimation in many respects of the extraordinary achievements we have made in the field of sustainability in the past years,“ Oliver Zintner, CEO at KRAIBURG TPE, classifies this year’s result. “On the one hand, it demonstrates how strong our position is in international comparison. But above all, the award emphasizes how continuously and persistently we pursue our sustainability goals in all categories.”
Zintner points out: „Results like that are not at all a matter of course in our competitive environment. They only become possible because our colleagues at all sites worldwide are closely working together in a partnership-based manner.“
