With more than 150,000 companies evaluated, EcoVadis is one of the world’s leading providers of sustainability ratings. Assessments cover performance in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The results are widely recognized as an international benchmark for sustainable and responsible business conduct.
The recognition received in summer 2026 reflects the ongoing development of ODU’s sustainability activities. After being acknowledged with EcoVadis’ "Fast Mover" status in the previous year for significantly improving its rating, ODU was able to further enhance its sustainability performance and achieve the Bronze Medal for the first time. This progress demonstrates that the company’s long-established sustainability activities and processes continue to evolve and are increasingly gaining visibility and recognition in external assessments.
Sustainability has been firmly embedded in ODU’s corporate values and business processes for many years. This includes resource-efficient production methods, the use of renewable energy, certified environmental and energy management systems, as well as a wide range of initiatives supporting employees and community engagement.
At the same time, the consideration of sustainability criteria within international supply chains is becoming increasingly important. Many customers use EcoVadis as a basis for evaluating their suppliers and regularly incorporate the results into procurement and sourcing decisions. ODU is already connected with numerous customers via the EcoVadis platform and, with its current rating, meets important market and customer requirements.
The award also strengthens the company’s position in the international competitive environment. ODU is well positioned to meet the growing expectations of customers and business partners and operates at a competitive level in terms of sustainability performance. Meanwhile, market expectations continue to evolve. The Bronze Medal confirms that ODU is well positioned today, while the company will continue to pursue and further expand its sustainability activities in the years ahead.
