Linde Material Handling (MH) has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for the third consecutive year after achieving its highest-ever score of 92 out of 100
The latest assessment saw the intralogistics provider improve its overall score by nine points year-on-year, placing it among the top-performing companies assessed globally by EcoVadis.
The result reflects strong performance across all four EcoVadis assessment categories: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement, with improvements achieved across each area.
Particularly strong progress was recorded in the Environment category, where Linde MH achieved a score of 98 out of 100, with EcoVadis recognising the clearly defined scope and responsibilities of the company’s environmental policy, alongside structured review mechanisms and measurable objectives.
The brand also achieved a higher score in Sustainable Procurement following the first-time inclusion of brand-level data on CO₂ emissions during the use phase of sold products.
In the Ethics category, Linde MH was recognised for its comprehensive anti-corruption guidelines, regular risk assessments, protection of sensitive data and employee training on topics such as cybersecurity. In Labour & Human Rights, the brand was acknowledged for its support of the Diversity Charter, promoting diversity and equal opportunity.
Speaking on the result, Katie Lloyd-Young – Sustainability Manager (UK&I) for KION GROUP – said: “Achieving EcoVadis Platinum for the consecutive year, alongside our highest-ever score, reflects the continued maturity of our ESG framework and the strength of our governance, transparency, and performance management.
“With a near-perfect environmental score and the integration of lifecycle emissions data, we are advancing a more data-driven approach to sustainability, aligned with our science-based targets. This enables us to better support customers in decarbonising their operations and meeting evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
“We remain focused on embedding sustainability deeper into our business model, driving innovation and contributing to the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy.”
Linde MH’s latest assessment covers all manufacturing plants and sales and service locations across EMEA and is valid until February 2027.
The EcoVadis methodology is based on internationally recognised sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000. Companies undergo a standardised assessment process involving self-reported documentation, supporting evidence and independent evaluation by EcoVadis analysts, with performance scored across defined assessment categories.
