Terumo Corporation (TSE: 4543) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Terumo Europe has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing the organisation among the top 1% of more than 175,000 companies assessed worldwide for sustainability performance. The achievement demonstrates Terumo Europe's commitment to responsible business practices and continuous improvement across its operations, contributing to Terumo Group's broader sustainability goals.

EcoVadis is one of the world's leading sustainability assessment platforms, evaluating companies across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The Platinum rating is the highest level awarded by EcoVadis and marks the first time Terumo Europe has achieved this distinction.

The recognition reflects years of continuous progress in strengthening sustainability practices. It highlights the collective efforts of employees throughout Terumo Europe and the way responsible business practices are embedded in day-to-day operations, from ethics and compliance to safety, responsible procurement, training, governance and environmental stewardship.

The top 1% rating is the result of a culture in which employees contribute every day by following policies and procedures, meeting high ethical standards, supporting safe workplaces, completing training, and helping ensure transparency and accountability across the business.

“Joining the world's top 1% reflects how sustainability and responsible business practices are embedded in the way we operate every day across Terumo Europe. Whether supporting healthcare professionals, serving patients, working with suppliers or advancing innovation, we strive to create long-term value for society. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our employees and reinforces our commitment to contributing to society through healthcare,” says Takuya Hosogai, CEO, Terumo Europe.

While the Platinum rating represents an important milestone, Terumo Europe views sustainability as an ongoing journey. The company remains focused on further strengthening its sustainability performance, supporting responsible growth, and creating long-term value for patients, customers, employees and society.
