We repeatedly put our sustainability performance to the test and participate in various sustainability ratings and rankings throughout the year.
The independent rating agency ISS STOXX has given Voith 2025 a "B" rating. We were therefore able to improve our rating compared to previous years (rating result of "B-"). In addition, Voith has been awarded the Prime Status since 2018 and continues to be one of the best companies in the machinery and plant engineering sector worldwide.
As part of the international sustainability rating EcoVadis, Voith was awarded the bronze medal in 2026 and ranks among the top 35% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis.
Sustainability ratings are playing an increasingly important role for banks and customers. In this way, ecological and social improvements lead to concrete economic benefits - that's what sustainable action is all about.
In January 2024 we joined the world’s largest initiative for responsible and sustainable corporate governance, the United Nations Global Compact, to further underscore our commitment to sustainable business practice. We have given a clear and resounding affirmative to participating in this international network and to committing ourselves to the ten global principles of the Global Compact, including human and labor rights, diversity, and anti-corruption.
