Sustainability at OECHSLER AG: Gold Medal from EcoVadis and Commitment to SBTi
Read nowHumanity faces one of the most significant challenges of modern times – the ecological revolution in the economy and society. As staunch believers in science, we are convinced that the time for change is now, and it must be fast. Our actions in the short- and mid-term will be decisive. At OECHSLER, we are ready to take responsibility.
As part of our ongoing commitment to society, our employees, and the environment, the OECHSLER AG completes a thorough assessment of its business sustainability practices every year through EcoVadis, a global leader for evaluating corporate responsibility. EcoVadis includes 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
In our most recent assessment, completed on July 8, 2025, the OECHSLER AG was awarded the Gold Medal – placing us among the top 5% of companies worldwide. This recognition underscores our ambition to continuously improve and transparently live up to the standards of responsible business conduct – across all industries we serve, including healthcare.
At OECHSLER, sustainability is considered based on all three pillars, always on a global level. With our roots as a family-owned business, we have transferred these values to all our global sites. These achievements are constantly confirmed by demanding certifications and customer audits.
Bei OECHSLER möchten unseren Teil zum Klimaschutz beitragen. Wir bewerten den Klimaschutz über unseren eigenen Einflussbereich (Scope-1- und Scope-2-Emissionen) hinaus und berücksichtigen zusätzlich auch die vor- und nachgelagerten Prozesse (Scope-3-Emissionen).
OECHSLER's employees are the most important driving force for sustainable change. Their knowledge and experience are vital to achieving our goals and help us reach them ever faster. To empower our employees, our daily behavior inside and outside OECHSLER manifests itself in our corporate culture, which is based on four pillars: Pioneering Spirit, Fair Play, Room for Action, and Encouraging Success.
