EGGER recently published the sustainability journal VALUABLE, which takes readers on an exciting journey and shows the measures the family company is taking to realize its strategic goals.
“To us sustainable management is not just a phrase,” says Thomas Leissing, CFO and Spokesman for the Group Management. “We have high standards for our sustainability management and our transparent reporting. We are constantly striving for improvement. We are very pleased that we have now succeeded in doing this.”

This is the sixth time that the sustainability performance of the EGGER Group has been recognized by EcoVadis, one of the world's largest providers of sustainability ratings. This year, the family company has been awarded the Gold Medal for the first time. This means that EGGER is now among the top five percent of all companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide and across all industries. The assessment is based on 21 criteria, subdivided into the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
ISS ESG is one of the leading rating agencies in the sustainable investment segment. For the fifth time already, it has awarded the EGGER Group Prime Status in Corporate Rating, which is reserved for the best companies in their respective industries. Companies with Prime status are considered sustainability leaders in their industry.
