As a family business, we have been working for generations to achieve good long-term results at all levels. Specifically, for us this means finding a responsible balance between economic, social and ecological aspects in everything we do.
We see this as our corporate responsibility towards our employees and the environment, but also towards our partners and society. As WISKA, we want to be part of the solution and continuously expand our contribution to a better world for all.
For us, sustainability is not a buzzword, but a practice that has been practiced for generations. Making a profit has never been the only goal; our greatest motivation remains to inspire our customers and users with innovative, long-lasting product solutions with a strong team, while avoiding negative effects along the value chain and doing as much good as possible. Our quality and environmental management systems have been certified for many years. We are proud to have been one of the first German companies to meet the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems back in 1996.
In addition, from 2024 onwards we will have our sustainability management assessed annually by EcoVadis.

We are proud to have been assessed once again by EcoVadis, the world’s leading provider of sustainability ratings for companies. After receiving the “Committed” badge in our first assessment in 2024 and earning the Silver medal in 2025 with a score of 72 out of 100, we have now been awarded the EcoVadis Gold medal with a score of 80 out of 100. This places us among the top 5% of companies assessed worldwide at the time of our evaluation.
“We are incredibly proud that our efforts to make WISKA more sustainable have been recognized with the EcoVadis Gold Medal. This recognition motivates us to keep moving forward, develop innovative solutions, and continuously improve the way we work.” - Tanja Hoppmann
This award underscores our ongoing commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices and confirms the dedication of our teams worldwide to continuously advancing our sustainability performance.
For our sustainability strategy, we took a closer look at the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. We are excited about the global plan that the world agreed on in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.
We want to participate in this and see our greatest positive leverage in these four SDGs:
