WIPAG Deutschland GmbH, an ALBIS Group company and a specialist in the processing and manufacturing of polypropylene based closed loop product solutions and innovative carbon fiber based compounds, has achieved European wide Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standard certification.
The specialist assessors, EcoVadis, use a comprehensive set of criteria in the assessment including environmental, social and ethical factors and sustainable procurement. It is based on international CSR standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000. EcoVadis awarded WIPAG a silver level CSR rating.
Along with their ratings, EcoVadis provides companies with a decision-making tool for collaborating with suppliers in global supply chains, including companies operating internationally such as BASF, Merck and Bayer.
Certification like this has particular relevance for things such as the background to EU Commission decisions, the current CO2 limit regulations and the German Federal Administrative Court’s ban on diesel vehicles in major cities.
