At Hailo, sustainability is part of our corporate culture. The fact that the company lives up to its social responsibility has now been confirmed by an independent authority: For 2020, Hailo has received the “Silver” award from EcoVadis. In the overall assessment of corporate social responsibility, or CSR for short, Hailo scored 83 percent in the ranking. This means that Hailo is among the top 17 percent of the ranking, which is well above the average for companies evaluated by EcoVadis.

“We are very pleased about the silver rating from EcoVadis as recognition of our responsible actions,” says Jörg Lindemann, CEO of Hailo (photo). “This recognition confirms that we are committed to deploying further resources that contribute to our sustainable economic success”.

With EcoVadis, the award comes from one of the most renowned providers of sustainability assessments. More than 50,000 companies belong to the EcoVadis network. EcoVadis offers a unique assessment methodology and intelligent, collaborative tools that allow participants to see not only where they stand in terms of CSR, but also how they can improve their sustainable business performance. EcoVadis has defined four pillars for this purpose: Environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. EcoVadis monitoring enables companies to develop a comprehensive CSR concept that takes into account every element of their business activities.

For Hailo, social responsibility has been an inseparable part of its business activities since its foundation. This can be seen in the products with which Hailo makes the world of work safer and more comfortable – and this thinking is also manifested in the CSR activity with which the group of companies started early on and which is reflected, for example, in the code of conduct.

The EcoVadis award confirms the company’s commitment to continue on this path of ethical and at the same time economical corporate management.
