Zeppelin Construction Machinery from Garching has been awarded the Gold Medal for sustainability management by the rating agency EcoVadis. The assessment covers the categories of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement – criteria that are increasingly required in public tenders according to EU taxonomy. According to EcoVadis, only the best five percent of rated companies in an industry achieve a gold rating. For construction companies, the certification of the Caterpillar partner could become relevant in fleet selection if clients need to demonstrate CO2 accounting along the supply chain.
