Archroma has been awarded a Gold rating for its sustainability performance by EcoVadis.

This places the company among the top 5% of the more than 130,000 companies from 180 countries and 220 industries assessed by EcoVadis using stringent criteria covering environmental performance, ethics, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement.

“Archroma has a clear sustainability strategy that guides all of our efforts to develop and deliver solutions that enhance people’s lives,” said CEO Mark Garrett. “This is encapsulated in the ambitious environmental operations targets we have just announced for 2030 and by engaging with platforms like EcoVadis, we strengthen our commitment to partnership and transparency.”

From 2023 to 2030, Archroma will work to reduce water intensity by 40%, energy intensity by 15% and waste intensity by 10%, with zero hazardous waste to landfill. It will also aim for an ambitious 20% reduction in absolute Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own plants and processes and a 40% reduction in absolute Scope 2 indirect GHG emissions from the energy it consumes.

“We have been tracking our sustainability journey through the EcoVadis assessments since 2017 and it has been so motivating to see how much the standard of sustainability management has also improved across industries over this time,” said Martina Beitke, Archroma’s group sustainability director.
