Performed annually, EcoVadis’ assessment focuses on 21 issues grouped into four key themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. These criteria are based upon international sustainability standards, including the Global Compact Principles, the International Labour Organization conventions and the Global Reporting Initiative standard.

“As a global provider of sustainable energy solutions across the energy value chain, we focus on continuously improving our sustainability practices to ensure we reduce both our emission levels and our carbon footprint,” said Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO. “We commit to critical voluntary leadership organizations, such as EcoVadis to ensure that our products, services, and operations pass stringent sustainability tests. Being upgraded to a Gold Medal rating in less than a year by EcoVadis validates that our sustainability strategy is working.”

The upgrade to a Gold Medal rating reflects INNIO integrating and elevating sustainability efforts in 2021. INNIO’s accomplishments included the following:

• Formalizing our commitment to Human Rights and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion through company guidelines and trainings.
• Publishing our inaugural Sustainability Report, “Together for A Sustainable Future”.
• Identifying a set of material topics and metrics aligned with those set out by international frameworks, including the GRI, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
• Implementing measures, guidelines, policies and initiatives to strengthen transparency and sustainable growth in INNIO’s supply chain.

The depth and breadth of these advances are reflected in INNIO Jenbacher’s recent accomplishment of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recertifications that include ISOs 45001, 14001, 9001 and 50001, affirming INNIO’s commitment to continual growth and its demonstration of exceptional and reliable quality, efficiency, sustainability, and occupational health & safety practices.
