Certifications & reviews

ISO certifications

The Wibax Group is certified in a combined certificate for the quality management system ISO 9001 and the environmental management system ISO 14001. These management systems help us to organise, streamline and assure quality of operations.

Sustainability statement

Wibax Sales AB and Wibax Logistics AB hold a sustainability statement  from the Energy Agency. A sustainability statement is required to make biofuels eligible for grants such as tax reductions and electricity certificates, and to count their emissions as zero in emission allowance trading schemes. 

Ecovadis

Wibax is connected to the Ecovadis platform for third-party sustainability assessment. The Ecovadis results are based on a comprehensive questionnaire with documentation evidence, where answers and evidence are reviewed and assessed by Ecovadis. The assessment is divided into the areas of environment, laws and human rights, ethics and sustainable purchasing.

The assessment in 2023 resulted in a gold ranking, which means that Wibax Group’s results are better than 98 percent of the assessed companies’ results.
