Copenhagen, 18 June 2026: Hempel A/S has achieved its best-ever sustainability rating from EcoVadis, scoring 80 points and placing it among the top 5% of all companies assessed in the 12 months prior to the medal issue date. This marks a 17-point improvement from last year’s bronze-medal score of 63 and reflects Hempel’s continued progress in embedding sustainability into its operations and customer value proposition.

The EcoVadis rating is one of the world’s most respected independent sustainability assessments and recognises best-practices across environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

“This fantastic achievement is a milestone for Hempel and reflects the progress we are making as a company. Being awarded a gold medal by EcoVadis is a strong validation of our Sustainability Mission, which focuses on creating customer value through more efficient and responsible solutions - while also reducing our own environmental impact,” says Sofia Mavropoulou, Vice President of Sustainability at Hempel A/S and continues: “It shows that our efforts have accelerated and matured and reflects that sustainability is no longer a supporting pillar, but a core driver of how we operate and create value.”

In the last year, Hempel has expanded its scope and accuracy of documentation and worked closely with teams across the business to ensure that data reflects real performance. According to Sofia Mavropoulou, Hempel’s 17-point improvement is the direct result of this transparent and consistent reporting.
