Buxtehude, Germany – 27th May 2025 – Claudius Peters, a global leader in materials handling and processing technologies, is proud to announce it has been awarded a bronze medal by EcoVadis, one of the world’s most respected providers of business sustainability ratings. This recognition affirms the company’s strong commitment to sustainable and responsible practices across all areas of its operations.
A Mark of Our Commitment to Responsible Business
EcoVadis evaluates companies worldwide based on four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Claudius Peters scored positively across all categories, reflecting the depth and effectiveness of its sustainability strategy.
“Sustainability is deeply embedded in everything we do—from our internal policies to our industry partnerships,” said Kurt Herrmann, Managing Director of Claudius Peters. “This bronze medal is a proud milestone for our team and a clear signal that our actions are making a real difference.”
Driving Innovation in Sustainable Cement Production
At the heart of Claudius Peters’ innovation is its Technikum—the company’s world-class technical centre in Buxtehude—where tens of thousands of materials are tested under real-world industrial conditions. The Technikum plays a critical role in the development of sustainable cement solutions, supporting industry partners in reducing carbon emissions.
“We are actively collaborating with leading global cement producers to develop blended cements and alternative production processes that significantly reduce CO₂ footprints,” Herrmann added. “Our work at the Technikum enables the transition from concept to scalable industrial application.”
A Team Achievement – And a New Starting Point
