WEG recognised for sustainability by GEA Group
WEG has been named Best Supplier in Sustainability by GEA Group, one of the world’s largest suppliers of systems and components for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Selected from 200 companies, WEG received the award at the 2026 GEA Supplier Summit, held in Amsterdam on 15 October. The recognition follows WEG’s Best Supplier in Innovation award in 2023 and reflects a partnership between the two companies dating back to 2009.
GEA, which was ranked Germany’s most sustainable company by Time magazine in June, highlighted the importance of supplier partnerships in achieving its sustainability targets, particularly reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
Daniel Godinho, WEG’s Vice President of Sustainability and Institutional Relations, said: “Being recognised by one of the most sustainable companies in the world, such as GEA, is a great source of pride and confirms that our actions are aligned with market demands.”
WEG has held an EcoVadis Gold Medal since 2023, while sustainable products accounted for 71% of its revenue in 2025.
The company has also reduced its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 32% through its Carbon Neutral Program, launched in 2022, as it works towards a 52% reduction by 2030. Its short-term emissions reduction targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2025.
