EcoVadis

Since 2020, we have had our sustainability performance regularly assessed by EcoVadis. Since December 2025, UMS has held the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, placing us among the top 1% of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide.

The EcoVadis rating covers various areas of corporate sustainability, including environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The regular assessment helps us systematically review and continuously improve our sustainability practices.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Social, societal and environmental responsibility is embedded in our corporate culture and our key areas of focus.

We support the ten principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption and use them as a framework for responsible business conduct. In addition, we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for structuring our sustainability activities.

Our Climate Targets

Since 2025, the Expleo Group, of which UMS Consulting is part, has been committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Our near-term and long-term climate targets have been validated by the SBTi and are aligned with the 1.5°C pathway of the Paris Agreement. Expleo and UMS aim to achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by 2040. Further information is available via the SBTi Target Dashboard under SBTi ID 40012712.

Responsibility Across Our Value Chain

Responsible business practices do not end at our company boundaries. We therefore also set expectations for our business partners regarding ethical, social and environmentally responsible conduct.

Our Human Rights Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct provide a binding framework. They define our expectations regarding internationally recognised human rights, fair working conditions, environmental protection and ethical conduct across the value chain.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility is based on four main pillars:

  • Ethical conduct
  • Our values
  • Empowerment of our employees
  • Promoting responsible business partners


Any violations of our corresponding principles can be reported through our confidential whistleblowing system: whistleblower@ums-gmbh.com

Knowledge and skills are the basis for sustainable success, prosperity and stability. We believe in that.

Accordingly, we at UMS are committed to training people in many ways. Even beyond our core business.

Since 2008, we have been investing specifically in the construction and expansion of a kindergarten and a school in Ethiopia and in the training of children and teachers. It is a great task and it is a pleasure to see the successes. Today, 120 children attend the kindergarten and 320 children attend the school.

We would like to invite you to find out more about the project and get involved. Please contact our managing director Olin Roenpage or visit the association’s websiteFinksHawzien.
