Sustainability at GEDORE
For a better Future
GEDORE has stood for tradition and sustainability for over 100 years. As a fourth-generation family business, we attach great importance to sustainable corporate management. For us, sustainability means not only social and ecological action, but also economic strength. We manage our company with a view to future generations by making environmentally conscious decisions and utilising resources efficiently. This enables us to be successful in the long term and at the same time make a positive contribution to the environment.Better together: Alliances for Sustainability
We can only afford to implement sustainability projects based on our economic strength. We are committed to the region and work together with companies in the Bergisch city-triangle. As a member of the Sustainability Future Circle HOCH3, we are actively committed to sustainable development in our region. Our commitment to sustainability has also been recognised by the ÖKOPROFIT certification. This award confirms our endeavours to continuously improve our processes and make them more environmentally friendly. We are proud of what we have achieved, but we are not resting on our laurels. We want to continue working on sustainability issues and constantly improve. This is the only way we can fulfil our responsibility towards the environment and future generations.Commitment to society, our employees and the environment - EcoVadis certified
As part of our commitment to society, our employees and the environment, we conduct a thorough assessment of our sustainability practices by EcoVadis, a global leader in sustainability assessments. The EcoVadis assessment covers 21 sustainability criteria in four key areas: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
In our last assessment, which was completed in August 2024, we received a ‘Committed Badge’, which demonstrates our ambitious progress in the area of sustainability.

For the German-speaking region, GEDORE has defined five areas in a sustainability policy which, in line with our corporate responsibility, play a special role in our social, ecological and economic development:
Environmental responsibility
Energy responsibility
Social responsibility

Quality responsibility
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - We're on board!
Agenda 2023: A global plan of the United Nations with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) for member states. As an internationally interacting family business, we address the key challenges of our time by focussing our actions on achieving these goals.
From the implementation of energy-efficient facilities and equipment to the optimisation of supply chains and the development of tool solutions that simplify and promote the use of sustainable techniques and technologies, we try to involve the entire GEDORE value chain.
