ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG was awarded the Gold Medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating 2026. With a score of 82 out of 100, the company ranks among the top five percent of companies evaluated by EcoVadis in the twelve months leading up to the award. The result recognizes the company’s sustainability management in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
The rating assesses how companies put their responsibilities into practice through guidelines, measures, and demonstrated results. For ARNOLD, the award is recognition of its approach to further developing sustainability as an integral part of corporate governance and industrial value creation.
Combining Technological Development with Resource Efficiency
As a supplier and development partner for fastening solutions, ARNOLD explores how technical requirements, cost-effective manufacturing, and the responsible use of resources can be reconciled. Sustainability considerations are incorporated into the development process from the outset and taken into account throughout the entire process chain. Key areas of focus include material usage, energy efficiency, and the reduction of emissions. Taking a holistic view of the entire value chain is intended to help identify opportunities for improvement early on, in collaboration with customers and partners, and translate them into solutions.
Responsibility Toward Employees and Business Partners
ARNOLD’s approach to sustainability extends beyond products and production processes. The company integrates it with the creation of safe working conditions, the development of its employees, and a corporate culture based on respect and equal opportunity. Acting with integrity and engaging in fair business practices are just as much a part of this approach as taking social and environmental requirements into account in procurement. In this way, ARNOLD also incorporates its business relationships and supply chains into its ongoing development.
For customers and partners who prioritize sustainability in their own value chains, the EcoVadis rating provides additional guidance. It makes the sustainability management of the assessed company transparent using a standardized evaluation methodology.
Moving Forward Together
This achievement is the result of the dedication of employees from various divisions of the company. ARNOLD therefore views the gold medal as recognition of this collaborative effort and as an incentive to continue embedding sustainability in business decisions and day-to-day operations. The ARNOLD CSR Progress Report 2025 provides an overview of the company’s strategic direction and the further development of its environmental, social, and economic responsibilities.
