W\u00fclfing GmbH &amp; Co. KG is a home textiles manufacturer with three production sites in Germany and the Czech Republic. As a supplier to one of Germany\u2019s largest discount retailers, the company faced the challenge of participating in an EcoVadis assessment for the first time in 2026 and providing this important business partner with structured information and supporting evidence in line with the EcoVadis methodology.<\/p>\n<p>The timeline was demanding. After attending a DFGE policy webinar on the Retail Impact Initiative in May 2026, W\u00fclfing contacted DFGE the following morning. Initially, only a few weeks were available to complete the EcoVadis questionnaire. Together, W\u00fclfing and DFGE developed a structured project plan. Following a systematic data collection process, the preparation of relevant supporting evidence, and submission of the questionnaire, W\u00fclfing received a Gold Medal in August 2026 \u2013 in its very first assessment cycle.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"standard-arrow list-divider bullet-top\"><ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wuelfing-home.de\/UEber-uns\/Nachhaltigkeit\/\">Sustainability at Wilh.

As a result, there was no existing scorecard to serve as a starting point for targeted improvement. At the same time, a key customer required W\u00fclfing to submit the questionnaire by June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The central challenge was to establish a robust assessment basis for three production sites within a very short timeframe. A rushed submission would have increased the risk of a weak result. It was necessary not only to identify existing sustainability activities, but also to systematically compile suitable supporting evidence and map it to the requirements of the EcoVadis methodology.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Involving multiple sites added further organizational complexity.

Based on this plan, the submission deadline was extended, allowing the necessary steps to be completed with the required level of professional rigor.<\/p>\n<p>As a strategic EcoVadis partner in the DACH region*, DFGE supported W\u00fclfing throughout the entire assessment process. The focus was on a structured gap analysis of the available information, guided collection and consolidation of relevant data, and the preparation of policies and supporting documentation. DFGE also provided support in developing a KPI dashboard, working on policies, and completing and reviewing the EcoVadis questionnaire.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">During a kick-off workshop in June 2026, the approach, responsibilities, and next steps were defined in detail. The subsequent process combined expert advisory support with closely coordinated project management. This enabled W\u00fclfing to make efficient use of existing information while preparing its evidence in a transparent manner and in line with the known assessment logic of EcoVadis.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration created a link between short-term assessment support and long-term ESG development.
