We are proud to share that we have received a Silver medal from EcoVadis.

The rating places us in the top 15% of all companies assessed globally, and it is a clear recognition of the work we do every day to run our business responsibly.

What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is one of the world’s largest providers of business sustainability ratings.

Each year, companies around the world are assessed across four areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

The assessment gives customers and partners an independent view of how a company works with sustainability in practice.

Why it matters to us

Sustainability is increasingly part of the conversation with our customers. Sales Director Christian Aarup explains why the medal is important:

“More and more of our customers ask how we work with sustainability, and it means a lot to be able to show them a result we can stand behind. It’s a result built by everyone here, and we’ll keep working to get better.”

For many companies, ESG reporting can feel like an exercise in documentation. For us, it has been an opportunity to understand where we stand today and where we should focus our efforts tomorrow. 

“The most important outcome isn’t the report itself. It’s the fact that we now have a much clearer picture of where we are and where we need to improve,” says Christian Aarup, Sales Director at RIVAL. 

From insights to action

We have always prioritised running a responsible business. Since RIVAL was founded more than 60 years ago, it has been part of our DNA. Whether it involves our customers, employees or suppliers.  

As Christian Aarup explains, the difference today is that we now have a clear overview of our data to guide future decisions: 

“We’ve spent the past year mapping our data. Now the real work begins as we use that knowledge to make informed decisions and drive meaningful improvements over time”

Excitement on the way to the airport

It was a group of excited colleagues who rolled off in the bus on Wednesday after work, heading for the airport.

A few cozy days in the snow

This year, the trip went to the Austrian Alps in Obertauern. We were spoiled with what people in the alpine regions call Kaiserwetter – blue skies and bright sunshine.

A day of tours and inspiration

On Friday morning, there was a lively buzz in Svejstrup as our colleagues from Ølgod stopped by the factory for a visit.

The day offered a guided tour, great conversations, and plenty of inspiration for the shared journey ahead.

“You can tell people are passionate about what they do”

“You can really feel that the colleagues in Svejstrup are passionate about their work – and that they’re open, welcoming, and appreciative,” says Production Manager Flemming Tranberg from Ølgod.

He highlights the conversations with the new colleagues as one of the most valuable parts of the day:

“We had some great talks about everything from software and processes to ways of collaborating – and, most importantly, how we can use each other’s experience to build one strong organisation.”

Cycling race starting and finishing at FÆNGSLET in Horsens

It has become an annual tradition for LPM-RIVAL to take part in the mountain bike race in Horsens – and this year was no exception. A group of energetic colleagues showed up with big smiles, dressed in tight lycra, ready to race.

The race covers 50 kilometers, and everyone gave it their all – but, of course, with respect for ensuring that everyone could take part. After 2 hours and 46 minutes, the riders crossed the finish line wearing their stylish RIVAL cycling gear.
