For several years, Gattefossé has been following a strict CSR roadmap. And it’s a strategy that’s paying off, as the ingredient supplier has just received two awards: the labeling of its production site according to the ISO 14001 standard and the “platinum” grade of the EcoVadis certification.
ISO 14001 defines a series of requirements that an organization’s environmental management system must meet. After two years of work, Gattefossé has succeeded in obtaining it.
“We are committed to continuous improvement in order to maintain this distinction for the next few years,” says the group.
In addition, Gattefossé was awarded the EcoVadis platinum medal, a precious sesame held by only 1% of companies certified by the organization. This prize is the result of:
• The improvement of traceability, sustainability and performance of raw materials
• The reduction of direct and indirect carbon emissions
• The work on the eco-design of ingredients and the reduction of the impact of their end of life
“Gattefossé has always had an environmental, social and societal approach in its activities. Today, these two recognitions allow us to concretize our ambitions. ISO 14001 is a great structuring tool that will help us reach our strategic objectives. The EcoVadis assessment highlights our strengths and identifies our areas for improvement. It is also a way to highlight the work of our teams and to increase the commitment of our employees,” said Laurent Schubnel, Group CSR Manager.
