VMI Earns EcoVadis Platinum Medal, Ranking Among the World's Top 1% Most Sustainable Companies

VMI Group has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, the highest distinction in the internationally recognized sustainability assessment, placing the company among the top 1% of businesses assessed worldwide.

The EcoVadis rating evaluates companies across four key areas: environmental stewardship, ethics, labor and human rights, and sustainable procurement. The Platinum Medal marks another significant milestone for VMI, following the company's Gold rating in 2025 and demonstrating its continued commitment to improving sustainability performance.

"This recognition is a proud milestone for VMI and one that we share with all of our employees around the world," said Harm Voortman, President and CEO of VMI Group. "It reflects the progress we have made in embedding sustainability into every aspect of our business. From designing more sustainable machines together with our customers to working closely with our suppliers, we continue to improve both our products and our operations. While we are proud to have progressed from Silver to Gold and now Platinum, we see this as another important step in our journey toward a more sustainable future."

According to VMI, sustainability has become an integral part of the company's long-term strategy. The Platinum rating follows several major initiatives introduced over the past year, including the launch of the company-wide "We green it together" program, which encourages employees across the organization to develop and achieve sustainability goals.

The company has also introduced its Sustainability Manifesto, outlining its long-term environmental and social ambitions, and published its 2025 Sustainability Report, providing transparent insight into its sustainability performance and progress against strategic targets.

By achieving EcoVadis Platinum status, VMI further strengthens its position as a global leader in machinery for the tyre manufacturing industry while reinforcing its commitment to responsible business practices and sustainable innovation.
