Geiger (PPAI 105182, Platinum) – the No. 5 distributor in the PPAI 100 – has announced it has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for 2024.

This distinction places the Lewiston, Maine-based firm, which earned 2024 PPAI 100 High Marks in Responsibility, among the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide for sustainability practices.

  • EcoVadis, the world’s leading provider of business sustainability ratings, evaluates companies across four key pillars: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
  • To achieve Platinum, companies must score above 80% overall, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainable practices.


Achieving a 99th percentile ranking, Geiger – the largest distributor to achieve Platinum from EcoVadis – earned an exceptionally high score in the environmental category, reflecting its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing energy consumption and minimizing waste.

Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum rating is a testament to the culture of sustainability ingrained in every aspect of our operations.”

Incoming President, Geiger

Geiger’s global reach also contributes to its sustainability leadership, exemplifying the company’s commitment to international benchmarks.

  • Its UK division has maintained its Platinum EcoVadis status for the third consecutive year, and Geiger’s German division received a Bronze medal in 2024.


“Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum rating is a testament to the culture of sustainability ingrained in every aspect of our operations,” says David Geiger, incoming president of Geiger and a 2024 PPAI Rising Star. “From investing in solar panels at our headquarters to educating our sales force and customers in eco-friendly materials to fostering inclusivity within our workforce, we’re committed to making a meaningful impact for our planet and future generations.”

This recognition is valid through December 2025.
