Arxada Earns EcoVadis Gold Medal, Advancing Sustainability Leadership Across Global Operations

Basel, Switzerland, June 17, 2026 – Arxada has achieved the EcoVadis Gold Medal—awarded to companies ranking within the top 5% of all assessed organizations globally. EcoVadis is a leading provider of business sustainability ratings, evaluating companies across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, including environmental performance, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. This recognition marks a new milestone in Arxada’s sustainability journey and reinforces the strength and transparency of its approach across global operations and value chains.

This recognition reflects continued progress across key areas assessed by EcoVadis, including environmental performance, responsible sourcing, and governance practices. As evaluation standards become increasingly rigorous each year, achieving Gold underscores both consistency and measurable advancement in Arxada’s sustainability approach.

Central to this progress is Arxada’s focus on emissions reduction, supported by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-validated 2030 Scope 1 and 2 targets. At the same time, the company continues to expand its EcoArx program to address Scope 3 emissions, embed sustainability across operations, and strengthen supplier engagement.

“Sustainability is an integral part of how we operate and innovate,” said Rick Strittmatter, Chief Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability Officer. “Achieving EcoVadis Gold reflects the progress our teams are making across the business and reinforces our commitment to delivering solutions that support a more sustainable future.”

Arxada will continue to build on this momentum by working closely with customers and partners to further strengthen its performance and contribute to more sustainable value chains.
