BARCELONA, Spain — Girbau, a provider of comprehensive textile care solutions, has been awarded the Bronze Medal by EcoVadis, an international authority on business sustainability ratings.
Girbau says the recognition places it among the top 20% leading companies assessed by EcoVadis in the past 12 months (based on the obtained score), demonstrating its commitment to sustainable business practices and responsible corporate governance across environmental, social and ethical areas.
“We are extremely proud to receive the EcoVadis Bronze Medal,” says Joan Vilaseca, Girbau’s sustainability officer.
“This recognition validates our continuous efforts to embed sustainability into all aspects of our operations and motivates us to keep raising the bar in environmental and social responsibility in the professional textile care industry.”
EcoVadis evaluates companies across several key areas, including Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
Girbau says the award differentiates and recognizes it as a preferred partner within the hospitality sector and among the members of the Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement (HARP), an EcoVadis-powered sector initiative.
Girbau’s sustainability strategy is built on a foundation of continuous innovation and responsible practices to reduce the environmental impact of its products and operations.
Key initiatives include the development of resource-efficient technologies, such as water reuse and treatment systems, and the creation of zero-waste production processes. It is working to cut its carbon footprint by promoting the use of long-lasting and low emissions equipment.
Mercè Girbau, CEO of the company, says, “This recognition marks a significant milestone in our journey, affirming our commitment to making a positive impact on people and the environment. We are incredibly proud and excited to continue advancing our core values.”
