The award is presented by EUPD Research and recognizes companies that not only document their environmental, social, and corporate responsibility, but also strategically anchor it in their business practices. The assessment is based on a scientifically sound, AI-supported analysis process that takes into account transparency, environmental performance, social factors, governance, and regulatory compliance.
Steffen Klink, Chief Operating Officer of the EUPD Group, emphasizes this special achievement: “We warmly congratulate EEW Energy from Waste GmbH on this well-deserved award. It is proof of the company's extraordinary commitment to comprehensive transparency, which is manifested in its pursuit of forward-looking innovation, such as actively promoting CO₂ capture technologies.”
Within the EEW Group, too, the award is seen as an important confirmation. Fabian Böhmer, Sustainability Team Leader at EEW, explains: “For us, transparency is not a mandatory requirement, but an expression of our attitude. Receiving the top rating shows that we are already at a very good level in terms of sustainability reporting. At the same time, it motivates us to continue developing and to communicate our progress, but also our challenges, in an open manner.”
With its classification in the excellence class, EEW underscores its role as a responsible player in the circular economy. The main factors contributing to the success of the external assessment were the high quality of ESG reporting, a clear system of objectives with comprehensible progress measurement, and the transparent involvement of stakeholders along the value chain.
