Unilin has dramatically increased its environmental and sustainability performance and secured a EcoVadis Gold medal.
The flooring to panels group saw its EcoVadis score jump from 64 – worth a bronze designation in 2025 – to 81, to secure the accolade.
The improvement places the group among the top 5% of 90,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis, which examines environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement activities. Unilin improved its rating across all the categories.
The EcoVadis award reflects years of investment across the business. In 2021, the company developed the first industrial-scale technology capable of recycling
MDF, HDF and laminate, which were previously considered impossible to recycle. Pictured is its
recycling plant in Bazeilles, France.
More recently, Unilin has also invested in recycling technologies for PIR insulation boards, helping to
keep raw materials in circulation and reduce reliance
on virgin resources.
‘Achieving EcoVadis Gold is a major milestone for Unilin and a recognition of the efforts made across the entire organisation,’ says Lasse Six, Unilin group
sustainability manager.
‘This achievement is the result of the dedication of colleagues throughout the company who contribute every day to making our business more sustainable and responsible. We are proud of the progress we have made together.
‘While we are celebrating this achievement today, we see it as another step in our sustainability journey rather than a final destination.
‘Together, we will continue building on this momentum and further strengthen our sustainability performance in the years ahead.’
