The international rating platform EcoVadis has awarded HOYER a bronze medal for its sustainability activities. This recognition is the result of the strategic efforts of the international logistics provider to proactively take responsibility for the long-term ecological, economic, and ethical aspects of its business activities.
(Hamburg) Until now, individual business areas had been evaluated. In 2021, the HOYER Group underwent the rating process for the first time as a whole company. The bronze medal reflects the strong positioning of the HOYER Group within the industry. In comparison, more than 40 percent of participating logistics companies received no award at all. “We are proud of the positive result,” says Eric Schlichter, Manager Group Sustainability Forum at HOYER, “and we use the analysis from the independent EcoVadis experts to improve even further.” The results of the rating guide the sustainability team of the HOYER Group to continuously identify further optimization potentials and initiate additional activities.
Social responsibility, environmental protection, and sustainable business practices are fundamental pillars of the HOYER Group’s corporate actions. Therefore, sustainability considerations play a leading role in all business areas and links of the supply chain. In 2012, the company established binding sustainability guidelines, and since 2015, it has published a Sustainability Report. A dedicated area, Group SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality), exclusively focuses on improving processes, safety, and quality standards with regard to people and the environment.
