A road map for further improvements
Lesjöfors signed up to EcoVadis in the beginning of 2023 and recently got the results from the first assessment. An overall score of 52 gives us a good starting point. Our best performance was in the Environment area, where we achieved 70 points, which means a result among the top 11 per cent of all compared companies.
Anna Haesert, Head of Sustainability, comments on the bronze medal:
“Improving our sustainability work is a long process that covers the whole value chain and we are well aware of that our journey has just begun. Nevertheless, we are happy to see that our targeted and committed work puts us among the companies on the better half of the scorecards. The Ecovadis assessment result is a good tool to identify areas where need to put extra actions in.”
