Intro
Our four fields of action
Our four fields of action in our corporate responsibility strategy
We are successful in business because we embrace change and take responsibility for all that we do. We want to change things for the better for our clients and employees, but also for consumers, our industry, and society.
Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate responsibility. Our CR activities go beyond environmental protection. As an international finance service provider, we are especially committed to social responsibility and corporate governance.
News and Activities
EOS Group achieves top industry recognition with outstanding ESG ratings
The EOS Group once again received significant recognition in 2025 for its outstanding performance in the area of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). The renowned rating agency Morningstar Sustainalytics awarded us both the "Top Rated Industry" and "Top Rated Regional" awards. These place the EOS Group among the top two percent of companies in the consumer finance sector for the second year in a row.
"With the independent ESG rating, we are making our contribution to sustainable development transparent. The top rankings show that our corporate responsibility strategy is successful and that we are very well positioned in many areas," CEO Marwin Ramcke explains.
Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability was recognized for the first time with the EcoVadis Bronze Medal. These accolades emphasize the continuous pursuit of responsible and sustainable actions.
Together with our partners, customers, and the future generation, we are shaping a world in which sustainability is a priority for everyone.
Sustainability Strategy and Goals
In our 2022 materiality analysis, we identified the sustainability topics that are most important for EOS. These material topics still build the basis of our sustainability reporting.
To create a long list of potential material topics, we examined the status quo and did a benchmark analysis which included relevant international reporting standards, guidelines, rules and regulations (Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex (DNK), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS*)). In a workshop with internal and external experts we then narrowed down, summarized and prioritized our material topics. We rated them according to their relevance for both EOS (x-axis) and our external stakeholders (y-axis). In assessing the material topics for EOS, we considered the inside-out and outside-in perspective, also known as double materiality. GRI 2-29 GRI 3-1
* We used the ESRS standards dated April 2022 to create the long list.
*Compared to fiscal 2021/22, according to the Science-Based Target (SBT) and to the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement; the official wording of the target is shown on the SBTi website.
In 2021, the EOS Group joined the UN Global Compact, the world's largest and most important initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance. We thereby committed ourselves to complying with the core values in human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption which make up the Ten Principles.
Every new member derives its own goals from the Initiative’s principles. We did so, basing our goals on a selection of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we can pursue most effectively. The SDGs we selected along with associated key figures and goals make up an important benchmark in our corporate responsibility strategy. We report on the progress we have made once a year as part of our “Communication on Progress” (COP). GRI 2-23
We focus on the following SDGs:
Individual initiatives and measures that partly promote other SDGs will be included in the reporting as appropriate.
