Platinum Achievement
In August 2024, following a rigorous assessment, Diehl Metering SAS, our French site, was awarded an overall score of 80/100. It earned the prestigious Platinum medal to join the exclusive ranks of EcoVadis Platinum companies. The site managed to maintain its strong performance in the Environment category while making significant gains in other areas.
What does EcoVadis Platinum mean ?
The Platinum medal is the highest level of all the EcoVadis medals. It means the company is ranked among the top 1% of companies evaluated worldwide. This ranking is calculated across all companies in all industries. Platinum is therefore a mark of excellence awarded only to the very best performers in business sustainability.
How do we reach this level?
Thorough work has been carried out to consolidate a comprehensive document base. Numerous measures have also been taken to harmonize our procedures. Particular attention was given to human resources and the company's attractiveness, as employee well-being is an intrinsic part of our culture. This effort, recognized by EcoVadis, reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainable development. It has a substantial impact thanks to the contribution of all the company's employees.
Continuous EcoVadis Score Improvements
Diehl Metering SAS has a proven track record of success with EcoVadis. In 2018, it earned its first Silver medal, and has continued to register impressive EcoVadis score improvements ever since. The first Gold medal was awarded in 2020 with an overall score of 66/100. For the next three consecutive years, Saint-Louis maintained the Gold level, consistently raising its overall score up to 73/100 in 2023.
Our Global Commitment to Sustainability
The EcoVadis Platinum sustainability rating is the result of Diehl Metering’s ongoing commitment to efficient resource management and ethical business practices. As well as aligning with the UN’s Global Compact, Diehl Metering has developed its own 7 Priority Programs to ensure the highest standards of corporate social responsibility.
Our strategy is to uphold the same demanding levels of sustainability across the company. In 2023, we submitted the entire Metering division for evaluation to EcoVadis for the first time, achieving a Bronze medal. This year, we are delighted to have been awarded the Gold medal for the division – a remarkable progress.
We would like to thank everyone who contribute to these achievements. Our EcoVadis medals can only be won through the day-to-day application of sustainable practices by people everywhere across our business.
