For the second time in a row, ikp Vienna has undergone the independent EcoVadis assessment and impressed.
The silver medal is internationally recognized confirmation of a commitment to sustainability that goes far beyond declarations of intent.
“Trust is not built on promises, but on evidence. The requirements for agencies and communication service providers have changed, and ESG criteria are playing an increasingly important role in selection processes. This is exactly where the EcoVadis rating provides clarity and opens doors for us,” says Ines Schmied-Binderlehner, Senior Consultant at ikp Vienna and, as a Certified Sustainability Communications Expert, internally responsible for sustainability.

The global platform EcoVadis is active in over 185 countries and evaluates companies from various industries in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement—objectively, comparably, and based on reliable data. With its renewed silver rating, ikp Vienna ranks among the top 15 percent of 150,000 companies evaluated worldwide. For the agency’s clients, the rating means verified transparency: reliable scorecards and detailed performance records are available at the click of a button.
In recent months, ikp Vienna has continued to invest specifically in optimizing internal sustainability processes, further developing sustainable procurement standards, and implementing measures for social responsibility towards its own team. The silver medal is external confirmation of this ongoing work.
