With 75 out of a possible 100 points in the overall assessment, the REHAU Group was once again able to improve and secure Gold certification for the third time in a row. This puts the company in the top 5 percent of all participating companies and the top 1 percent in the plastic goods sector. "We are very proud of this result, because it shows that we are taking the right measures and are constantly improving," says Andreas Jenne, Head of Sustainability at REHAU Industries. "However, the rating also reveals the areas in which we still have room for improvement, such as sustainable procurement. We can now make targeted improvements there." In addition to the overall improvement, the rating also positively highlighted the company's participation in the CDP rating and its advanced management system in the areas of environment, labor and human rights.
