Geiger (PPAI 105182, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 5 distributor, announced that it has achieved a global Platinum rating from EcoVadis, placing the company among the top 1% of organizations assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.

“This achievement reflects the progress we’ve made by looking at our business through a truly global lens,” says David Geiger, president of Geiger and fifth-generation family member. “Operating under one rating allows us to assess our practices consistently across the world, while continuing to improve locally. Sustainability is not a one-time goal for us – it’s a multi-generational commitment.”

This marks the first time Geiger has earned a single, consolidated Platinum rating across its expanding global operations. In 2025, Geiger’s U.S. and U.K. businesses achieved Platinum ratings individually, while its German operations earned Silver.
