The EGGER Group, a leading manufacturer of wood-based materials, has reinforced its commitment to sustainability by achieving outstanding ratings in two globally recognised sustainability assessments. For the first time, EGGER has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing it among the top 5% of companies evaluated worldwide. Additionally, the company has once again secured Prime Status in the ISS ESG rating, cementing its position as an industry leader in corporate sustainability.
Highlighting its dedication to transparency and continuous improvement, EGGER has also launched its new sustainability journal, VALUABLE, which provides insights into the company’s strategic goals and sustainability initiatives.
Commitment to Sustainable Excellence
“Sustainable management is not just a phrase for us. We uphold high standards for sustainability and transparent reporting, always striving for improvement. We are very pleased to see these efforts recognized,” said Thomas Leissing, CFO and Spokesman for the EGGER Group Management.
EGGER proactively participates in sustainability evaluations to benchmark its performance and identify areas for growth. The company has now received recognition from EcoVadis for six consecutive years, with 2025 marking its first Gold Medal. The rating is based on 21 criteria spanning environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Similarly, ISS ESG, a leader in sustainable investment ratings, has granted EGGER Prime Status for the fifth consecutive year. The company’s sustainability performance has continued to improve, earning it the title of industry leader in its sector.
With these accolades and the launch of VALUABLE, EGGER reaffirms its commitment to integrating sustainability into its corporate strategy, setting a benchmark for the industry’s future.
Valuable Sustainability Stories
The EGGER Group upholds high transparency standards in its business activities, offering deep insights into its sustainability ambitions and achievements. Sustainable business operations generate compelling stories that bring facts and commitments to life. EGGER aims to make these stories widely accessible through the launch of its new sustainability journal, VALUABLE.
In this publication, EGGER’s experts take readers on a journey across multiple sustainability projects at the company’s international plants. Readers can explore the construction site of a power plant at the St. Johann in Tirol (Austria) facility, which is set to expand the use of renewable energy. They can also learn about EGGER’s commitment to product transparency, follow the lifecycle of recycled wood, and see how it is repurposed into high-quality chipboard at the Hexham plant in the UK.
By highlighting these sustainability initiatives, EGGER underscores its commitment to responsible business practices and transparent communication, ensuring that its progress and impact remain accessible and measurable.
