For the second time in a row, Compo has taken first place in the "Garden Maintenance" category of the renowned "Germany's Best Sustainability 2024" ranking.   On behalf of Focus Money, Deutschland Test and the Hamburg Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) examine which companies in Germany stand for the highest ecological, economic and social responsibility among consumers every year on the basis of an extensive, scientific data analysis. As in 2023, Compo received the full score of 100 points and was voted the industry winner for sustainability 2024. "Together with our retail partners, we are delighted to have once again been recognized as the winner of “Germany's Best Sustainability”,” says Stephan Engster, CEO of Compo. “After many years of consistent focus, we are perceived by end consumers as the most sustainable brand in our industry. This recognition not only confirms our course, but also motivates and obliges us to further expand our role as a green leader with the best innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers and nature.” Compo says it is aware of its responsibility for the environment and nature and towards its employees, partners and customers. Sustainable and responsible action is firmly anchored along the entire value chain: from high-quality and renewable raw materials that are sourced regionally and come from the circular economy wherever possible, to a sophisticated decentralization strategy and a multi-award-winning packaging concept, to a broad product range and supplementary services for retailers and consumers. In order to find “Germany's Best Sustainability”, the sustainability reputation of a total of 15,000 companies was examined in a multi-stage analysis process based on several million online responses. The results show which companies are pioneers in ecological and social commitment from a consumer perspective. The respective industry winners receive 100 points and thus set the benchmark for all other companies in their category. “The study shows that our promise of quality, a complete range of innovative and ecologically compatible solutions and the highest standards of user-friendliness pay off and create trust among the relevant target groups,” says Engster. #sustainabilty #dukestreet #esg
