Social and ecological responsibility

Social and ecological responsibility has always been firmly anchored in SMA's values. Today, ecological, social and ethical behaviour – in other words, sustainability – is a key factor for the future viability of a company.

For this reason, we set ourselves a new challenge in 2023 and had our sustainability performance assessed by EcoVadis. SMA was awarded a bronze medal by Ecovadis (result: 75th percentile).
