The rating is based on documented evidence and provides a structured view of how consistently companies manage key aspects. All around the world, it has become a practical reference in procurement and business decisions, as it offers a comparable and independent perspective on operational reliability and discipline. This gold rating recognizes Sulzer among the top 5% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. In addition, this Gold reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence in how it operates and executes across its global activities. Over the past years, the company has focused on simplifying processes, coordination across regions, and reducing complexity in execution. 

This way of working is embedded in day-to-day operations across Sulzer, with a consistent focus on improving how work is executed and delivered. Rather than relying on isolated initiatives, teams continuously refine processes, simplify workflows, and align methods across locations to work more efficiently and predictably. Across manufacturing, project delivery, and service activities, this translates into an ongoing effort to reduce cycle times, improve planning, and increase consistency in how work is carried out across the organization.

Operating at Sulzer’s scale requires a high degree of consistency in how work is carried out across the organization. With more than 160 production and service locations and over 13,000 employees worldwide, ensuring alignment in processes and ways of working is essential. This relies on clear structures, coordination across teams, and a shared approach to managing activities across regions.

For customers and partners, these capabilities are critical. In essential industries, performance is measured in reliability, uptime, and the ability to deliver under changing conditions. “When teams across Sulzer work together, in a coordinated way, we are able to improve how we operate and deliver excellence to our customers,” says Alina Halank, Chief Sustainability Officer at Sulzer.

The Gold rating acknowledges that Sulzer is able to combine global scale with consistent execution, while continuing to improve how it operates. Looking ahead, the focus remains on further strengthening processes, deepening collaboration, and building on a model that turns operational discipline into sustained performance over time.
