The first companies to receive the new ROBIN GUT sustainability certification at the highest "Platinum" level

The new ROBIN GUT certification for sustainable companies has been awarded at the highest level of "Platinum" for the first time. This outstanding honor goes to Georg Utz GmbH and Georg Utz AG (CH), which set impressive standards through their commitment to sustainable corporate management. The Platinum Award of the DGQA-Deutsche Gesellschaft für Qualitätsanalysen mbH and the environmental organization ROBIN GUT honors companies that establish pioneering standards in terms of sustainability.

"For us, the platinum award is not only a recognition of our work to date, but also an incentive to constantly improve," emphasizes Michael Utz, Vice President of the Utz Group's Board of Directors. "Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate culture, and we are proud to have received this award for our efforts towards sustainable corporate governance."

The sustainability seal, developed by DGQA-Deutsche Gesellschaft für Qualitätsanalysen mbH together with the environmental organization ROBIN GUT, honors companies that particularly excel in the three areas of ecological, economic and social sustainability. The “Platinum” level is only awarded to companies that achieve far above-average results in all test criteria and stand out through exemplary commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility.

"The award is intended to provide consumers with trustworthy guidance and to encourage companies to implement sustainable practices at the highest level," explains Frank Mutschke, Managing Director of DGQA-Deutsche Gesellschaft für Qualitätsanalysen mbH. "With this seal of quality, we want to motivate companies to actively take responsibility for the environment and society." Dieter Könnes, co-initiator of ROBIN GUT, explains: "Only by working together can we make progress towards a sustainable future. The certification of Georg Utz GmbH and Georg Utz AG is a strong signal for the economy and a role model for other companies."
