EcoVadis Regional Sustainability Leadership Award 2025
In March 2025, Vonmählen was awarded the Regional Sustainability Leadership Award by EcoVadis. This award is given only 15 times worldwide and honors small and medium-sized enterprises that are leaders in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. As one of only five European companies, Vonmählen is thus among the global pioneers in sustainability.
The foundation for our sustainable economy
Form the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
UN Global Compact
The foundation for our sustainable economy is formed by the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. Its 10 principles encompass labor standards, human rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption. They manifest in all our business activities.
Vonmählen GmbH on UN Global Compact ↗
All our efforts in sustainability are aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These were defined within the framework of the 2030 Agenda to ensure global peace and prosperity for people and our planet. We have examined our impact on the goals and defined our ability to improve according to the targets. Through this analysis, we were able to identify key objectives. Every measure we implement as part of our sustainability strategy has a direct or indirect impact on achieving our key objectives. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are therefore crucial for our strategy and the planning of all our measures in the areas of climate protection, social justice, and governance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is our understanding of sustainability?
Our understanding of sustainability is holistic. We consider ecological, social, and economic aspects to promote a sustainable future.
What makes our products ecologically sustainable?
A reduced product carbon footprint through recycled materials, FSC-certified and size-optimized packaging, efficient transport methods, and a manufacturer that recognizes its environmental impact and takes responsibility.
What drives us?
Intrinsic motivation. Commitment to sustainability and social justice can only be successful when it is properly understood and desired. Since the beginning of 2023, we have come a long way. Sustainability has now become deeply intertwined with our corporate culture.
What reduction target are we pursuing?
We aim to reduce our total CO2e emissions by 70% by 2030 and by 90% by 2045.
Why have we decided against compensation?
We have decided against compensation because we believe that reducing our own emissions is the most effective way to make a sustainable contribution to climate protection. Offsetting external savings against our own emissions is not conducive to achieving long-term reduction targets.
Which experts help us with this mission?
We have an in-house CSR manager and collaborate with experts and organizations such as UNGC, SBTi, amfori, and specialized partners for reporting and decarbonization strategies. Their guidelines are decisive for the direction of our strategy.
Which initiatives are significant for us?
How do we promote social justice?
All our suppliers are checked based on BSCI monitoring and examined for compliance with our social standards. Together with the regional diversu e.V. in Lüneburg, we hold anti-discrimination workshops for our employees. Additionally, we are signatories of the Charta der Vielfalt.
