Sanner, a global manufacturer of healthcare packaging solutions and a contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) for medtech devices, has achieved the EcoVadis Gold rating, positioning the company among the top five percent of all organisations assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.
This distinction marks a rapid progression in the company’s sustainability credentials. After receiving a Bronze rating earlier in the year, Sanner advanced two levels within a few months to reach Gold in October. EcoVadis, one of the most widely recognised ESG assessment platforms, evaluates more than 150,000 companies across four key pillars: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Strengthened ESG performance across global sites
Sanner’s improved rating reflects a substantial expansion of its sustainability and compliance programmes over the past two years. The company has implemented harmonised standards across its international manufacturing sites, enabling greater transparency, traceability, and long-term alignment with regulatory expectations in the pharmaceutical and medtech sectors.
These enhancements span environmental monitoring, responsible sourcing, ethical business conduct, and the integration of human rights principles into corporate governance. By consolidating these initiatives under a global framework, Sanner has created the foundations for more consistent measurement and continuous improvement across its operations.
A strategic milestone for the healthcare packaging sector
EcoVadis Gold is considered a key benchmark for suppliers operating in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and medical technology, where sustainability, quality, and compliance requirements are becoming increasingly interconnected. The rating offers external validation of Sanner’s efforts and reinforces the company’s positioning as a reliable and responsible partner for its customers worldwide.
Looking ahead
Building on this Gold achievement, Sanner plans to deepen its sustainability strategy across all business units and geographical regions. The company aims to pursue further advancements in environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical supply chain management, ensuring continued alignment with global expectations and market demands.
