Eurofiber in EcoVadis global top 1% best-performing companies thanks to ESG program

According to the latest EcoVadis sustainability rating (May 2024), Eurofiber Netherlands has attained the highest achievable status: Platinum. In attaining this platinum position with its ESG initiatives, Eurofiber has reached the top 1% high-performing companies, out of a total of 130,000 rated by EcoVadis worldwide.

Among other things, Eurofiber’s ESG program resulted in an SBTi-approved 100% reduction in CO2 in 2030 compared to 2021 (scope 1 and 2 emissions). The ambition is to be 100% climate neutral in 2040 (scope 1, 2 and 3).  To achieve this, Eurofiber is working on various sustainability initiatives. Examples include exclusively using sustainably generated electricity, adopting a lease policy focused on 100% electric driving, reducing energy consumption in the supply chain, and increasing circularity of products. 
Pilot projects on carbon-neutral construction and maintenance of the Eurofiber network and reductions in packaging materials will be starting shortly. To promote circular deployability of equipment, Eurofiber is also constantly exploring new opportunities for re-use.

With a platinum-standard final rating, Eurofiber scored higher than 99% of all companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide. The company recently scored 80 points in the sustainable procurement category – a substantial improvement compared to last year.

“Obviously, we are proud of this independent acknowledgement of our Platinum status by EcoVadis. In recent years, we have been making great strides with our Environment, Social & Governance goals and initiatives. Besides various projects to reduce CO2 impact in line with our SBTi ambitions, at the end of 2023 we asked over 40 of our key suppliers to join us in registering with EcoVadis. This enables us to monitor the ESG targets and results of our supply chain as well,” says Jeroen Kanselaar, ESG Manager at Eurofiber.
