SÜDPACK’s unwavering dedication to sustainability is exemplified by its impressive 2025 EcoVadis ranking. The film manufacturer has elevated its already robust results from prior years, achieving a remarkable score of 85 out of 100 points. This accomplishment places SÜDPACK among the top 5% of rated companies globally and awards it a prestigious Gold Medal.
Progressing from 59 to 63, then to 84 in 2024, and now reaching 85 points, the SÜDPACK Group’s EcoVadis performance highlights the company’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. As an innovative family-owned entity, SÜDPACK prioritizes sustainable procurement practices throughout its supply chain while also striving to set new benchmarks in food and drink sustainable packaging with its recyclable, material-efficient high-performance films and progressive packaging concepts.
This latest accolade reflects the specific sustainability goals established in the company’s “Sustainability Leadership” strategy. As outlined by the management team, “the measurable progress made represents an outstanding achievement by our entire workforce. At the same time, it serves as motivation to keep improving, to continually set new standards for environmental and social responsibility, and ultimately to create long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
