Transparent and integrated reporting
We have been reporting on our Sustainability KPIs since 2011 using annual sustainability reports in line with GRI standards. In March 2022, we issued our very first integrated annual report. Now we are gearing up for the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) which ensures transparent and integrated reporting.
Bekaert received platinum level rating in 2022 from Ecovadis, an independent sustainability rating agency whose methodology is built on international CSR standards. This puts us at the top 1% of all companies assessed in the same industry category.
Our sustainability efforts have been recognized by other sustainability ratings besides Ecovadis, showing a steady improvement over the years. Read more about the other sustainability ratings on the sustainability standards page.
