“The EcoVadis award confirms that TÜV SÜD’s sustainability strategy is systematically implemented and consistently pursued. Across the entire group, with more than 30,000 employees, we are working consistently to improve ourselves on many levels and thus position ourselves for the future,” explains Dr. Céline Bilolo, Chief Sustainability Officer at TÜV SÜD. “This year’s results show us that we are on the right track. We have significantly improved in all four assessment areas – ‘Environment’,

‘Labor and Human Rights’, ‘Ethics’ and ‘Procurement’ – compared to last year and achieved our highest score to date.”

Specific measures at TÜV SÜD in the various areas include: integration of human rights due diligence into many corporate processes, for example, equal treatment and non-discrimination; coverage of environmental certifications at locations worldwide; detailed and comprehensive communication of emissions figures; certification of information security and whistleblower procedures; and measures in purchasing.
