The EcoVadis agency has again awarded Evonik - one of the world leaders in specialty chemical - a Platinum rating for its sustainability performance. This puts Evonik among the top 1 percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis, both in the chemical industry and in all other sectors.
The EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment looks at companies’ sustainability performance in the dimensions of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The assessment also incorporates information from more than 2,500 publicly available sources.
“The renewed award of a Platinum rating by EcoVadis confirms our sustainability strategy,” says Thomas Wessel, executive board member responsible for sustainability. “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.”
