NORD scored 85/100 points in the “Environment” category, thus achieving the highest individual rating. The rated measures range from use of renewable energies and recovery of waste heat over energy-efficient production up to detailed CO₂e reports according to Scope 1 to 3.

Ethics as a basic principle

In the “Ethics” category, NORD managed to impress with extensive guidelines and concrete measures such as trainings in corruption prevention, transparent procedures for data protection and established whistleblower systems. A clear set of values helps guide our actions as a business and builds trust with our employees, partners and customers.

Employees and human rights

NORD's promotion of fair working conditions positively influenced the final score as well. Compliance with a collective payment agreement or flexible working time models are part of our thriving business culture. We especially emphasise topics such as health, safety and equality through trainings, for example.

Responsibility in the supply chain

Through clear guidelines for sustainable procurement, risk assessments, audits and trainings, NORD also integrates suppliers into its sustainability concept to establish a socially and ecologically responsible supply chain based on partnership.

“The golden EcoVadis award is an impressive testimony to our extensive sustainability management”, Jörg Niermann, Head of Marketing, emphasises. “But instead of resting on our laurels, we will consequently continue our way of responsible business management.”
