Ethical Profile

Mixed.

GRAMMER AG's ethical profile is mixed, with notable progress in environmental stewardship. The company achieved a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions, surpassing its 2025 target, and aims for a 100% reduction by 2040. Its EcoVadis ESG rating improved to 71 in 2024, placing it in the top 15% of rated companies. However, reports suggest limited transparency regarding Scope 3 emissions and broader supply chain sustainability. Information on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and honest business practices remains largely unavailable, making a comprehensive assessment challenging.
