\n\t\t\t\tGirbau has reached a new milestone in its journey as a responsible industrial leader: the company has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing it among the top 4% of companies worldwide and making it the only manufacturer in the textile-care industrial machinery sector to receive this distinction.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A step forward toward our purpose<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

This achievement represents a significant leap from the Bronze Medal obtained the previous year and reinforces Girbau\u2019s commitment to integrating sustainability across its entire value chain. The EcoVadis assessment<\/a>\u2014considered an international ESG benchmark\u2014evaluates performance across four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The results position Girbau as a strategic partner for organizations seeking efficiency, innovation, and corporate responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving from Bronze to Gold in just one year is an extraordinary accomplishment,\u201d said Joan Vilaseca, Girbau\u2019s Sustainability Officer. \u201cThis recognition validates our continued efforts to embed sustainability throughout the organization and motivates us to keep pushing toward global leadership in responsible industrial innovation.\u201d
For her part, Merc\u00e8 Girbau, the company\u2019s CEO, emphasized that this milestone \u201creflects the strength of our long-term strategy and the collective commitment of all our teams. It encourages us to continue generating value for people and the planet, and to accelerate the sustainable transformation of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girbau\u2019s sustainability strategy is built on innovation, resource efficiency, and transparency. The company is driving advanced technologies for water reuse and treatment, zero-waste production processes, and durable, low-emission equipment. With the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, Girbau has already reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 35% since 2021, marking solid progress in its decarbonization journey.<\/p>\n

The EcoVadis Gold Medal reinforces Girbau\u2019s leadership in sustainable industrial solutions for textile care and strengthens its purpose: creating a positive and lasting impact on people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1029,"template":"","class_list":["post-1019","news_post","type-news_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"post_type_news_post_featured":false,"post_type_news_post_json_schema":""},"yoast_head":"\nGirbau
