HB gets EcoVadis SILVER

Aug 4, 2026

HB Protective Wear has improved its EcoVadis CSR rating and achieved Silver status. With a score of 74 out of 100, the company ranks in the 86th percentile, placing it among the top 15% of all companies evaluated worldwide. This recognition confirms HB’s consistent efforts to advance its sustainability practices.

The greatest progress was made in sustainable sourcing. In addition, measures such as joining the UN Global Compact led to further improvements in the areas of the environment, ethics, and labor and human rights.

 

“We are very pleased with this significant improvement and will continue to consistently expand our efforts in the area of sustainable sourcing in particular,” confirms Greta Hansen, Head of Quality and Sustainability Management at HB Protective Wear. “The results show that the determined implementation of our measures is yielding measurable success.”
