Gold for outstanding sustainable action

For the second time in a row, Frankfurt School has been awarded Gold certification in the EcoVadis sustainability rating. This reward confirms that Frankfurt School is among the top five per cent of all institutions rated by EcoVadis in higher education worldwide. The assessment covers 21 sustainability criteria on four core topics: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

Sustainability is central to Frankfurt School's Strategy. The German Sustainability Council has awarded the campus a Platinum Certification. Frankfurt School integrates renewable energy sources and encourages resource-saving practices in its operations to fully embrace ecological responsibility.

To meet the growing importance of sustainability criteria, particularly environmental and social aspects, on the international financial markets, ESG topics are also part of FS's academic programmes, executive education, research, and numerous consulting projects at a global level.

The gold medal from EcoVadis is a confirmation of the continuous commitment and outstanding achievements around sustainable action on campus and underlines Frankfurt School’s position as a pioneer in education, training, and consulting on sustainable finance topics.

The EcoVadis ratings are based on international sustainability standards, which EcoVadis has already used to assess more than 130,000 companies worldwide. Companies in the top five per cent of their category are awarded the gold label.
