Supply chain automation specialist, Dematic has been awarded a Silver Medal in the 2025 Ecovadis Assessment for its operations in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).

As a provider of corporate sustainability ratings, Ecovadis evaluates businesses across four areas, including environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

It assesses an organisation’s policies, actions, and outcomes in these areas before providing a rating. On these terms, Dematic’s silver medal rating places it among the top 15% of companies evaluated by Ecovadis this year.

Dematic says it has taken significant steps to align with global sustainability standards.

“Dematic furthered its dedication to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when our parent company, Kion Group, committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi),” says Mike Larsson, president, Dematic, and Kion Group executive board member.

“Environmental stewardship is no longer a preferable trait – it is now an expectation of our customers when selecting business partners.”

Dematic says the fact that it manufactures it Colbyrack product locally in Australia, significantly reduces transportation requirements and associated emissions.

“At Dematic, sustainability is embedded in how we operate, from the materials we source to the solutions we deliver,” says Simon Barrow, VP and managing director, Dematic ANZ.
