EcoVadis awards Pyrum silver status

An inaugural assessment by EcoVadis has resulted in a Silver Medal for Pyrum Innovations AG. The sustainability ratings provider awarded Pyrum, which has patented a pyrolysis technology for the sustainable recycling of end-of-life tyres, an overall score of 59 points. This places Pyrum amongst the worldwide top 25 per cent of all companies in its industry assessed by EcoVadis.

“We are very proud to have been directly awarded the silver medal in our first rating by EcoVadis,” states Pascal Klein, chief executive officer of Pyrum Innovations. “Environmental awareness, ethical behaviour and integrity underpin our approach to sustainability. Going forward, we intend to continue to lead by example in our industry and fully commit to expanding our sustainability strategy and activities.”

The EcoVadis sustainability rating is one of the best-known ratings in the world. More than 95,000 companies in 200 industries and 175 countries rely on EcoVadis to monitor and improve the sustainability performance of their own companies and business partners. The EcoVadis methodology is based on international sustainability standards (Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact, ISO 26000) and overseen by a scientific panel of CSR and supply chain experts to produce reliable CSR ratings. Corporate activities are assessed in the areas of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
