De Pere, Wisconsin, April 15, 2026—Sustana has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for a third consecutive year. The company earned a score of 82, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis and within the top 3% overall.
Since completing its first EcoVadis assessment three years ago, Sustana has improved its score from 72 to 82—earning a Gold medal in each of the past three assessments and reflecting steady progress across all four categories. In 2025, the company expanded transparency through enhanced public disclosures, introduced additional performance indicators to track progress, and strengthened internal processes aligned with EcoVadis criteria.
“We’re incredibly proud to earn EcoVadis Gold for the third year in a row—and to see our score improve again,” said Nathan Jeppson, Chief Executive Officer. “Each year we’ve focused on closing the gaps identified in the assessment, and this result reflects real progress in ethics, responsible procurement, and transparency. It also gives us a clear roadmap for where to keep pushing next.”
Category-level results place Sustana in the top 1% for ethics, top 3% for responsible procurement, and top 6% for both environment and labor and human rights within its industry.
Sustana will continue to focus on measurable improvements in environmental performance, supplier standards, and workplace practices, with further updates to be reported in its next sustainability disclosure.
