Letter of Commitment
UN Global Compact
We consistently disclose our ESG performance against leading and internationally recognized frameworks and published a sustainability report in accordance with GRI and the ten principles of the UN Global Compact since 2009. Global rating agencies such as EcoVadis, Sustainalytics, and MSCI have recognized our sustainability performance with good ratings.
The sustainable management approach is reflected, among other things, in our membership in the UN Global Compact.
With more than 24,000 members, the UN Global Compact promotes awareness of the social and ecological responsibility of business.
Datwyler has been a member of the UN Global Compact since 2009, committing to meeting its social and environmental responsibilities and observing the ten principles on human rights, labour practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption.
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. 100'000 companies from 175 countries have been assessed already.
Datwyler was awarded the EcoVadis silver rating for the fifth consecutive time and is among the top 12% of the more than 100'000 companies assessed worldwide. In the elastomer industry, Datwyler is even among the top 6% of companies rated by EcoVadis.
