RHEWUM Marketing, RHEWUM GmbH

Sustainability isn't just a statement at RHEWUM—it's how we operate every day. That commitment has now been officially recognized by EcoVadis, a globally respected platform for sustainability assessments. Our "Committed" status validates our ongoing dedication to responsible business practices.

External Validation as a Guide for the Future

EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that provides sustainability ratings, information, and tools to help companies manage risks and compliance issues across Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) areas. It evaluates companies in four key categories:

• Environment
• Labor and Human Rights
• Ethics
• Sustainable Procurement

Our "Committed" status reflects the quality of our sustainability management system and demonstrates our commitment to transparency throughout the entire value chain.

Concrete Measures with Measurable Impact

Environment: Green Energy from Our Own Production

At our Remscheid location, we operate a large-scale photovoltaic system with over 1,000 modules that will soon cover up to 70 percent of our energy needs with self-generated solar power. Additionally, we source 100 percent green electricity and provide 22 kW charging stations powered by renewable energy. This significantly reduces emissions and strengthens our energy independence.

Labor and Human Rights: Strong Performance Confirmed

The assessment was particularly positive in the area of labor and human rights—thanks in part to flexible work schedules, comprehensive training programs, and consistent health and safety measures. Subsidized e-bike leasing and remote service offerings further reduce travel requirements and environmental impact.

Ethics and Governance: Transparency as a Core Principle

Our alignment with ESG principles and transparent communication—through initiatives like "RHEworld" and our virtual facility tour—build trust and support clear, responsible decision-making.

Sustainable Procurement: Responsibility Throughout the Chain

Modern, efficient production facilities, green manufacturing practices, and sustainable supplier relationships prepare us for future regulatory requirements and strengthen our competitive position.
