Date: 20/10/2022

Hexigone Inhibitors ranks among the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis globally.

The producer of smart corrosion protection solutions Hexigone has announced that it has received the Gold Sustainability Rating from Ecovadis. The company places itself among the top 5% of the businesses assessed by the organisation all over the world.

Since its foundation in 2007, EcoVadis has become one of the most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. As a matter of fact, it has created a global network of more than 90,000 rated companies which have been independently assessed based on environment, ethics, sustainable procurement and labour and human rights criteria.

In order to achieve this result, Hexigone had to undergo an in-depth evaluation from EcoVadis, that assessed the quality of the sustainability management system through evidence as well as controversy screening.

“We are pleased that Hexigone was awarded the gold sustainability rating from EcoVadis at first entry and evaluation, as sustainability is at the core of Hexigone’s product offer. We have robust policies and procedures in place and will also be utilising our scorecard to improve business processes further. Our goal is to reach the platinum rating next year,” has stated Marc Phillips, the Operations Manager of Hexigone.

Around 40% of all new steel is used to replaced damaged or destroyed substrates. The highly effective and environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors of Hexigone allow then to replace heavy metals, phosphates and toxic chromates and increase the product lifecycle of metal assets by reducing the drain on primary resources.

The company holds patents for its technology all over the globe and has recently joined the Made in Britain network – a recognised mark of high-quality manufacturing and products from the United Kingdom. Additionally, it has been awarded the Sustainable Innovation Award 2022 from the British Coatings Federation.
