The international rating agency EcoVadis has awarded Evonik for its transparency and sustainability efforts.
The manufacturer of specialty chemicals Evonik has announced that it has once again received the platinum rating of EcoVadis for its sustainability performance. The company is now among the first 1% of businesses assessed by EcoVadis, both in the chemical industry as well as in all other sectors.
“The renewed award of a platinum rating by EcoVadis confirms our sustainability strategy. We are driving forward sustainability along the value chain in close dialogue with our stakeholders. In addition to our own production and business processes, we pay special attention to the supply chain, especially product benefits and applications on the customer side,” stated Thomas Wessel, the executive board member responsible for sustainability at Evonik.
Evonik is a founding member of Together for Sustainability (TfS), the chemical industry's initiative aimed at increasing the transparency and sustainability of global supply chains through uniform supplier audits and assessments and additional training. The partners of the initiative are assessed annually through the EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment, which analyses companies’ sustainability performance related to environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
