RHI Magnesita Achieves New High in EcoVadis ESG Rating – Now in the Top 5% Globally

04. June 2025

We are proud to announce that RHI Magnesita has achieved a significant improvement in its EcoVadis ESG rating, reinforcing our position as a global sustainability leader in the industrial sector.

EcoVadis updated our ESG rating yesterday, and our overall score has risen by 3 points, placing us in the 97th percentile worldwide. This means our sustainability performance now equals or exceeds that of 97% of over 150,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis across more than 185 countries.

This improvement also continues to unlock annual interest savings of approximately €500,000 through our sustainability-linked financing facilities — demonstrating how strong ESG performance translates into tangible financial value.

Reflecting our strategic focus on sustainability as a key driver of business performance and long-term impact, this year’s score was boosted by improvements in three critical areas.

Key Drivers of Progress:

  • Environment: +6 points
  • Ethics: +4 points
  • Sustainable Procurement: +5 points

Since 2021, RHI Magnesita’s core loan facilities are directly linked to our Ecovadis rating, highlighting our commitment to continuously progress with our sustainability strategy.
