We are proud to announce that RECALO has been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal.
From Bronze to Silver
In 2025, RECALO was assessed by EcoVadis for the first time and immediately received a Bronze medal. In our most recent rating, dated May 22, 2026, we achieved a score of 78 out of 100 and were awarded the Silver medal — placing RECALO in the top 15% of all companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide. This result speaks for itself and is a tremendous source of motivation, particularly as our current score motivates us to continue striving for the Gold medal level in our next assessment.
EcoVadis: Benchmark and Motivation
EcoVadis is a globally recognized leader in corporate sustainability assessments. The assessment focuses not on what a company promises — but on what it actually delivers. The assessment covers four key areas:
- Environment – Resource consumption, emissions, climate protection
- Labor and Human Rights – Fair working conditions, health & safety
- Ethics – Corruption prevention, transparent business practices
- Sustainable Procurement – Responsible practices in the supply chain
Sustainability at the Heart of Our Business Model
At RECALO, sustainability isn’t just an add-on. Every day, we replace resource-intensive single-use solutions with durable, reusable load carriers — delivering:
- Lower CO₂ emissions through higher transport utilization and fewer empty runs
- Significantly less packaging waste by eliminating single-use cardboard, stretch film, and strapping
- More efficient supply chains through optimized warehousing and return logistics
- Reduced damage risk thanks to robust, durable, and hygienically tested containers
Our vision — a supply chain free of single-use waste — drives us forward. The EcoVadis assessment gives us measurable, annual feedback on how far we’ve come.
”The Silver Medal shows us we're on the right track — but it also pushes us further. For us, sustainability doesn't mean choosing between cost savings and environmental responsibility. It means pursuing both, consistently.
Arash RanjbarCEO
What this means for our partners
For our customers, the EcoVadis Silver Medal is a credible, evidence-based indicator: RECALO measures its sustainability performance according to international standards and openly communicates the results.
”The step from Bronze to Silver is no coincidence — it's the result of deliberate decisions made by the team. EcoVadis gives us the framework to not just feel progress, but to prove it. Because transparent results are the foundation of any genuine partnership.
Franziska SchreyerCCO
We’ve already set our sights on the next milestone. We are actively applying the insights from this rating to keep growing across all four assessment areas — because at RECALO, sustainability isn’t a position we adopted. It’s one we’ve lived by since day one.
