VUP retains EcoVadis Silver — with a wider assessment scope

VUP, a.s. has again been awarded the EcoVadis Silver medal, retained in June 2026 and placing us among the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide.

Retaining a medal is not the same as winning one. This year we widened what we were judged on.

Expanded scope, met with confidence

In this cycle VUP extended its assessment to include Scope 1 (direct greenhouse gas emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy). Retentions get harder when scope expands, because more of the business is measured. We raised the bar and met it.

Consistency across all four themes

EcoVadis assesses four areas: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Holding Silver across a second cycle shows our management systems work repeatably, not once.

What it means for your supply chain

For customers and partners, the rating is independent, third-party confirmation that VUP operates to internationally recognised sustainability principles. It supports your own ESG reporting and responsible-sourcing requirements, and sits alongside our ISO 9001:2015 certification, Responsible Care commitment and SNAS-accredited laboratories.

Our EcoVadis Silver retention reflects the repeatable quality that VUP delivers across the full breadth of sustainability standards we are assessed against. It is all the more notable in a year where we have expanded our scope to include Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reporting — raising the bar we set for ourselves, while continuing to meet it.

— Roman Karlubík, CEO, VUP, a.s.

With more than 75 years of research and production behind us, sustainability is part of how we operate rather than a separate programme. We continue to invest in greener processes, product stewardship and safer applications for the chemistry our partners depend on.
