GRI
Since 2009 we are publishing a sustainability report according to the worldwide accepted GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards.
The GRI Standards are the most widely used standards for sustainability reporting worldwide.
In its Sustainability Report, Datwyler reports transparently on progress and achievement of objectives in the relevant sustainability topics.

By participating in CDP, our stakeholders receive standardized reporting on energy consumption
CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) operates a leading global system for reporting on energy and resource consumption on behalf of institutional investors.
Since 2013, we have been reporting our energy consumption and the resulting CO2 emissions to CDP. This provides interested stakeholders with standardized reporting on climate-relevant topics.

The EcoVadis audit and rating makes our corporate social responsibility and sustainability activities available to our customers in a standardized form.
EcoVadis is one of the world’s leading providers for corporate social responsibility (CSR) audits.
2024, the globally recognized and independent rating agency has awarded Datwyler platinum, the highest standard, for its sustainability performance for the first time. This puts Datwyler in the top 1% of more than 130,000 rated companies from over 180 countries.

By joining the Science Based Targets initiative, we are making our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1, 2 and 3 binding.

This target is to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Over 9,000 companies have already joined the SBTi and we have been one of them since the end of June 2024.
