RHIEM Packaging & Print awarded EcoVadis bronze medal

For the first time, RHIEM Packaging & Print (RPP) has been recognized by the international sustainability rating company EcoVadis. RHIEM ranks among the top 25% of companies evaluated worldwide and has been awarded the Bronze Medal for its performance.

EcoVadis is one of the world’s leading providers of sustainability ratings. More than 130,000 companies across 180 industries and 90 countries have already been evaluated using a standardized system. The methodology assesses 21 criteria across the themes of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, and is based on international standards such as ISO 26000, the UN Global Compact, and the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The Bronze Medal is awarded to companies that rank in the top 15–35% worldwide (65th percentile or higher).

“This award confirms our direction and demonstrates that our commitment to responsible corporate governance, sustainable packaging development, and a lived corporate culture is making an impact,” says Managing Director Ulrich Treiber. “The EcoVadis assessment provides transparency about how we embrace this responsibility and continuously improve.”

Sustainability as part of the DNA

As part of the medium-sized RHIEM Group, RHIEM Packaging & Print has been rooted in the Lower Rhine region for decades. Sustainability is not treated as a project but as a fundamental part of our corporate culture:

Environment: Reducing our ecological footprint through resource-efficient processes, the use of sustainable materials, and energy-efficient buildings.

Labor & Human Rights: People at the center – with health care and training programs, flexible working hours, extra-company activities, and high safety standards.

Ethics: Transparency, integrity, and fairness shape our collaboration with customers, employees, and partners.

Sustainable Procurement: Responsibility does not stop at our factory gates – suppliers and partners are actively involved in our improvement initiatives.

Added value for our customers

These efforts directly benefit our brand customers in the food, electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors. Our innovative packaging concepts not only stand out at the point of sale but also contribute to environmental protection – for example, by reducing plastic use or by choosing sustainable materials. This award provides an independent benchmark that makes RHIEM Packaging & Print’s sustainability performance visible in line with international standards.
