Maasdijk, The Netherlands, January 31st 2023. BOAL Group, a leading Dutch company active in the horticulture industry, is proud to announce that it has earned a Top 50 ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) rating among all companies worldwide. This achievement is a testament to BOAL Group's commitment to sustainability and responsible corporate practices.
The ESG rating is determined by an independent third-party organization Sustainalytics (a Morningstar company). It evaluates companies based on their performance in the three key areas of environmental impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance. BOAL Group's high ranking is a reflection of the company's efforts to minimize its environmental footprint, promote ethical business practices, and support the well-being of its employees, customers, and communities.
Only two Dutch companies in the Global Top 50

BOAL Group also obtained the number one position globally within the Building Products segment for 2023. For the 2023 ranking, Sustainalytics assessed over 15,000 organisations using their acclaimed rating system.
BOAL Group CEO, Adri Pols, said, "We are honoured to receive this recognition for our ESG performance. Sustainability and responsibility are deeply ingrained in our company culture, and we are committed to continuing to improve in these areas. We believe that being a responsible corporate citizen is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes good business sense."
