GEZE increases sustainability and receives EcoVadis seal of approval
GEZE, the specialist for innovative and modern door, window and safety technology, has increased its sustainability efforts in all areas over the past year and achieved visible success. The Leonberg-based company has been awarded the Committed seal in the EcoVadis assessment. GEZE significantly improved its performance in the environment category in particular last year.
GEZE's commitment to sustainability was rewarded with the Committed seal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating.
For GEZE, sustainability is a relevant factor on several levels. With its innovative door and window technology and state-of-the-art building automation solutions, the company's products help to ensure that buildings meet today's sustainability standards. However, GEZE is not only committed to sustainability at product level. The company's commitment to sustainability has been increased in the areas of the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement to such an extent that GEZE has been awarded the Committed seal in the EcoVadis sustainability rating.
Increase in all categories

GEZE was able to improve its EcoVadis rating in all four categories last year, increasing its overall rating by seventeen points compared to the previous year. There was a significant improvement in the environment category in particular, with an increase of thirty points. This is mainly due to the effective measures, as well as the demanding guidelines that GEZE has been implementing for several years.
GEZE also achieved a significant increase of twenty points in the sustainability procurement category. Measures such as the consideration of sustainability practices in the frame of the supplier evaluation are decisive here. The relevant CSR code of conduct for suppliers was revised accordingly by GEZE in 2024.
We are proud that our continuous efforts in the area of sustainability have been recognised with the EcoVadis Committed seal. We see it as our responsibility to set sustainable impulses in the construction industry together with our business partners. The significant improvement in our EcoVadis rating is proof of our progress and at the same time an incentive to continue pursuing our ambitious goals.
Corporate orientation in the sustainability report
With its products, GEZE helps to ensure that buildings meet today's sustainability standards.
The sustainability report that the company has published for the year 2024 also shows that for GEZE, sustainability does not just take place at product level. In it, GEZE commits to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and has integrated them into its management principles. GEZE is particularly committed to climate protection measures, sustainable cities and communities, affordable and clean energy, industry, innovation and infrastructure, decent work and economic growth, as well as sustainable consumption and production.
We want to make liveable buildings possible – in the long-term, liveable also means sustainable.
