Aalberts integrated piping systems B.V. has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold medal for the second consecutive year, placing us among the top 5% of companies assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.

This award reflects our continued commitment to responsible, sustainable business practices, and demonstrates consistency in how we manage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics across our operations following our first gold rating in 2025.

A consistent approach to sustainability

At Aalberts integrated piping systems, sustainability is built into how we design, manufacture, and deliver our solutions. Our approach focuses on continuous improvement, transparency, and measurable impact.

Over the past year, we have strengthened this approach through:

Improved environmental performance, which includes the reduction of carbon emissions by 44%, of energy use by 25%, and of water intensity by 9% compared to last year.

Stronger management systems, with the continued expansion of ISO-certified sites and aligned processes

Increased data transparency, supporting customers with reliable product and carbon information

Employee engagement, driven by our growing network of sustainability ambassadors and local initiatives

What this EcoVadis Gold rating means

EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that assesses corporate sustainability performance across multiple sectors and industries. It provides a reliable and comprehensive evaluation designed to help organizations improve their sustainability efforts and transparency. The EcoVadis rating system evaluates companies in four key areas:

Environment: Measures initiatives related to resource management, emissions reduction, and climate action.
Labour and Human Rights: Assesses workplace conditions, equality, and adherence to fundamental rights.
Ethics: Evaluates practices to ensure integrity, anti-corruption measures, and business ethics.
Sustainable Procurement: Reviews policies and actions to ensure sustainability throughout the supply chain.

Achieving Gold status indicates a high level of performance across these four themes and places Aalberts integrated piping systems in the top 5% of companies assessed globally. Maintaining this rating for a second consecutive year reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and demonstrates its integration at the heart of our operations.

Driven by people, delivered through action

We continue to see sustainability as a shared responsibility, where practical actions—big and small—add up to meaningful change.

As with many of our sustainability milestones, this achievement is the result of collaboration throughout the business and reflects the collective efforts of our teams across regions, functions, and sites—working together to embed sustainability into everyday decision-making.

Building on momentum

While we are proud of this recognition, our focus remains on what comes next as we continue to:

reduce the material and energy used in our own processes and activities

rethink standard practices and find smarter uses for offcuts and by-products

recycle all residuals to keep secondary materials clean and valuable

Sustainability at Aalberts integrated piping systems is not defined by a single milestone. It is an ongoing journey—driven by measurable progress, collective effort, and a commitment to doing better every year.

Thank you to all our partners and colleagues who contributed to making this possible.
