BUTTING is among the top 1 % of the world's most sustainable companies

In June 2025, BUTTING in Knesebeck was awarded the Platinum Medal by the internationally renowned sustainability platform EcoVadis - the highest rating awarded by EcoVadis. With an outstanding score of 83 out of 100 points, we are now officially among the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide.

Last year, our sustainable corporate governance was already recognised with the Gold Medal. The fact that we were able to improve on this performance once again is a significant milestone - and proof of our consistent commitment to the environment, social issues and corporate ethics.

Dirk Meinecke, Managing Director at BUTTING in Knesebeck, is visibly proud: "The award is a reason for us to celebrate and also a confirmation of the attitude with which we work at BUTTING: responsible, future-orientated and value-based." This success is only possible thanks to the daily commitment, attitude and sense of responsibility of our employees. We would like to thank them for this!

"At the same time, we see the platinum medal as an incentive: we will continue to develop our sustainability goals and fulfil our responsibility along the entire value chain - in order to make a real difference for the environment, society and future generations," explains Dirk Meinecke. "Sustainability is not a trend at BUTTING - it is part of our identity."
