Detecon retains EcoVadis Silver Medal for sustainability excellence

Detecon has once again been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal for its sustainability performance, placing the global management and technology consultancy among the top 15 percent of companies evaluated worldwide in the past year.

EcoVadis, a leading provider of business sustainability ratings, evaluates companies across four categories: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. In its 2025 assessment, Detecon achieved notable improvements, particularly in environmental performance and sustainable procurement, reflecting its growing focus on responsible business practices and measurable sustainability outcomes.

This marks the second consecutive year that Detecon has achieved the Silver Medal from EcoVadis, following its inaugural award in 2024.

“For Detecon, sustainability is more than an external benchmark; it is embedded in how we operate and advise,” said the firm in a statement. “The EcoVadis Silver Medal is clear evidence of the effectiveness of our initiatives and our unwavering commitment to embedding sustainability deeply in all areas of our company. We are on the right track, but there is still much to do to fully achieve our ambitious goals.”

Headquartered in Germany, Detecon has more than 1,100 employees in 18 offices around the world. The company is an independent management consulting subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.

According to its website, the firm’s approach to sustainability “embeds environmental, social, and ethical responsibility into its strategy and operations, ensuring that innovation, technological excellence, and sustainable impact go hand in hand.”

Meanwhile, Detecon also plays a leading role in driving sustainability at its clients. The firm’s consultants advise clients in sectors such as telecommunications, manufacturing, energy, automotive, and transport & logistics on how they can reduce the carbon footprint of their operations while driving efficiency and competitiveness through technology.

“Our clients expect not only innovation and technological excellence from us but also that we contribute to a better future,” explained Elsa Maurice, Sustainability Lead at Detecon. “With the EcoVadis Silver Medal, we can demonstrate that we meet these expectations.”
