Evonik earns gold rating from EcoVadis

EcoVadis evaluates corporate performance across four categories: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. In addition to internal company data, publicly available information is also considered. The expectations placed on companies continue to rise - especially in light of evolving regulations and stakeholder demands.

“The gold rating is a strong signal of our consistent commitment to sustainability. This rating clearly demonstrates what we can achieve when we live and shape sustainability together,” said Thomas Wessel, chief human resources officer and labor director from Evonik and responsible for sustainability.

“Sustainability is a continuous improvement process that we actively shape together with our stakeholders. We are working to optimize our own processes while maximizing the positive impact of our products in our customers’ applications,” emphasized Ralf Düssel, head of Sustainability at Evonik.

Evonik is a founding member of the industry initiative Together for Sustainability (TfS), which promotes standardized sustainability criteria and audits across global supply chains. The renewed gold rating from EcoVadis underscores the effectiveness of this strategic partnership and Evonik’s role as a pioneer in sustainable supply chain management within the chemical industry.
