This is nVent’s first gold rating and a key milestone in its ESG journey.

nVent focuses its ESG efforts on People, Products, Planet and Governance and continuously innovates and enhances its ESG initiatives with support from global teams across the company.

Overall, nVent placed in the top three percent of companies assessed in its industry and the 93^rd percentile of all companies assessed by EcoVadis.

“Our gold rating from EcoVadis is a reflection of the continuous progress we have made on our ESG goals,” said nVent Chair and CEO Beth Wozniak. “ESG is a core part of our business strategy, and this recognition reflects the acceleration of our efforts as we continue to make nVent a great place to work, develop innovative products for our customers and drive environmental stewardship. We are building a more sustainable and electrified world.”
