Paris/Düsseldorf, November 7, 2024 - EcoVadis, the leading sustainability intelligence and engagement platform for global supply chains, is pleased to announce its lead partnership for the German Sustainability Award 2024 (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis, DNP). The award is presented by the Stiftung Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis e.V. in cooperation with the German government, municipal umbrella organizations, business associations, civil society organizations and research institutions.
The GSA honors pioneering contributions to the transformation towards a sustainable future. The award is based on the goals of the 2030 Agenda and focuses on climate, resources, nature, the value chain and society as key areas of transformation. The award aims to motivate key players to transform, inspire partnerships and highlight role models for transformation. With six competitions and 3,000 guests at the closing events, it is the most comprehensive award of its kind in Europe.
“We are delighted to support the German Sustainability Award as a lead partner, underlining the importance of sustainable supply chains for the required transformation. The demands on companies in terms of their procurement are growing from all sides and the challenges are increasing. However, we also see immense progress and continuous improvement driving our customers and their suppliers globally. The GSA provides a great opportunity for companies committed to sustainability in the supply chain to showcase their efforts and inspire others,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Pierre-Francois Thaler.
In 2021, EcoVadis was awarded the German Sustainability Award in the “Value Chain” category.

We are therefore delighted that EcoVadis is supporting the DNP this year as lead partner,” said Stefan Schulze-Hausmann, Chairman of the Board of the German Sustainability Award Foundation.
