With 72 points out of a maximum of 100, the pharmaceutical service provider significantly increased its score compared to the last evaluation and is now among the top five percent of all participating companies in the industry.
< >Sustainability plays an important role at Vetter and has been deeply rooted in its corporate strategy for many years. The positive result reaffirms the ongoing commitment and demonstrates where the family-owned company is implementing improvements in the rating criteria of Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

This responsibility is a high priority at the globally operating CDMO. “We are very proud that our far-reaching initiatives in many areas around sustainable corporate governance have had a significant impact on the EcoVadis rating, and that we were, once again, able to demonstrate improvement over previous years. The positive external evaluation is a strong achievement and further motivates us to continue this great development in a transparent manner among our employees, customers, and partners, as well as the patients and society,” said Vetter Managing Director Peter Soelkner.
In its sustainability report, the CDMO summarizes all sustainability measures to this point in a transparent manner and shares the future vision to all stakeholders.
