Sustainability News
Riwal is committed to its sustainability goals and we are very happy to share the results of our 2023 EcoVadis sustainbility assessment.

To prove our commitments to our sustainability goals, our achievements are regularly rated by EcoVadis, a globally recognised assessment platform. By participating in this initiative, we incorporate sustainability in our daily operations, focusing on employee health and safety, the environment and sustainable procurement.

EcoVadis rates companies on their sustainability performance by looking at their efforts within these topics: environment, labour, business ethics and sustainable procurement. 

Riwal has completed the 2023 EcoVadis assessment with a great result: the Gold EcoVadis Medal. This achievement places Riwal among the top 5% of assessed companies. Proud of this important step forward, we continue our journey towards the highest possible score (Platinum level), which we aspire to reach by 2025.
