Pfleiderer has published its sustainability report for 2023. In this report, the company provides a detailed overview of its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) activities, which are an integral part of its corporate strategy, for the second time.

For Pfleiderer, 2023 was the most successful year in terms of sustainability work thanks to numerous awards. The company won another gold medal from EcoVadis and, according to the rating agency Morningstar/Sustainalytics, is the second-placed company in the building materials industry category, ranking among the top two percent of 15,000 globally rated companies. The highlight was also the presentation of the German Sustainability Award (DNP) 2024 in the raw materials/wood processing category, which crowned an extraordinary year.

Dr. Frank Herrmann, CEO of the Pfleiderer Group, summarizes: “The performance of the Pfleiderer team in terms of sustainability and ESG cannot be overestimated, especially in an economically difficult year. This is a great success, especially as we have far exceeded some of the targets we set ourselves. I am particularly pleased that we have convinced various juries of the company’s strategy and performance in the area of sustainability, which is so important to us, and have been recognized accordingly.”

CEO Dr. Frank Herrmann emphasizes: “Of course, we are by no means resting on our laurels. We have set ourselves further ambitious goals for the new financial year and beyond. Above all, we want to improve our resource efficiency, feed the waste heat from our power plants into municipal supply grids, introduce special measures to protect biodiversity and make our supply chain even more transparent.”
