Royal Smit & Zoon maintains platinum rating

29/01/2025
Royal Smit & Zoon has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum rating for the second consecutive year, placing it among the top 1% of over 150,000 organisations assessed globally. The company’s 2025 score stands at 81 points, a slight decrease from 82 in the previous year, reflecting increasingly stringent evaluation criteria.

Despite this shift, the Platinum rating highlights Royal Smit & Zoon’s sustained commitment to sustainability, building on its Gold rating in 2021 and 2022. The company performed particularly well in Environment, Labour Practices, and Ethics, with sustainable procurement remaining a key focus area.

CEO Marc Smit stated, “This hard-won achievement reflects how deeply sustainability has been integrated in our business and identity for over 200 years.”

EcoVadis, a globally recognised sustainability assessment platform, evaluates organisations across Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The Platinum rating reinforces Royal Smit & Zoon’s position as a sustainability leader in the leather industry.
