AWT Labels & Packaging Achieves EcoVadis Silver Sustainability Status
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – August 1, 2025 – AWT Labels & Packaging, a leader in the label and packaging industry, has been awarded a Silver Medal from EcoVadis for its outstanding sustainability performance. This prestigious recognition places AWT within the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis, underscoring the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.
AWT was evaluated by EcoVadis across four key categories: Environment, Ethics, Sustainable Procurement, and Labor & Human Rights.
“We are continuing our committed to our sustainability plan and understand the strategic importance of delivering solutions that will have a lasting impact for generations to come,” said Bruce Hanson, CEO of AWT Labels & Packaging. “Last year achieving EcoVadis Bronze status—and now this year Silver status—is not only an honor, but also a clear reflection of the remarkable progress our team has made in making a positive impact on the world. I’m incredibly proud of the team’s efforts. The journey continues.”
EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that assesses companies on their environmental and social practices, providing transparent evaluations that help businesses improve their sustainability initiatives. While AWT has long prioritized sustainable and socially responsible operations, the company recently formalized these efforts through third-party validation.
“We will continue striving for excellence in sustainability, ensuring that our operations and supply chain reflect the high standards our customers, employees, and communities expect from us,” added Michelle Zeller, President of AWT.
