Vacumetal is proud to announce that it has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for 2026. This achievement places Vacumetal among the top 5% of companies assessed worldwide by EcoVadis, one of the world's most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings.
For several consecutive years, Vacumetal achieved the EcoVadis Silver rating. Reaching Gold status marks an important milestone in our sustainability journey and reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business practices.
A recognition of continuous improvement
At Vacumetal, sustainability is not a separate initiative. It is an integral part of how we operate, innovate and grow as a company.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates organisations across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
"We are incredibly proud of this achievement. It reflects the dedication of our entire team and the investments we have made over many years in quality, sustainability and responsible manufacturing," says Gilbert Schuurmans, CEO of Vacumetal.
Sustainability in practice
As a specialist in high-end decoration for glass and plastic packaging, Vacumetal continuously invests in cleaner technologies and more sustainable production methods.
Our sustainability efforts include:
These initiatives support our ambition to combine premium quality with responsible manufacturing.
Gold is a milestone, not a finish line
While we are proud of this achievement, we see the EcoVadis Gold Medal as a milestone rather than a destination.
Sustainability is a continuous journey. We will continue to invest in innovation, cleaner technologies and responsible business practices while working closely with our employees, customers and suppliers to create lasting positive impact.
With our ambition to become increasingly sustainable and contribute to a more responsible future, we are already looking ahead to the next step in our sustainability journey.
