EcoSynthetix, a renewable chemicals company that produces a portfolio of commercially proven bio-based products, announces that it has received its second consecutive Platinum designation by EcoVadis, a globally recognized agency for business sustainability ratings of supply chains. EcoSynthetix scored within the top one percent of the 90,000 companies rated.
Sustainable Alternatives to Reduce Carbon Footprint
“
Sustainability is fundamental to us. It’s our daily business. Our bio-based binders offer a sustainable alternative compared to conventional petroleum-based binders used by manufacturers,” said Jeff MacDonald, CEO of EcoSynthetix.
“
This Platinum designation from EcoVadis reflects both our product offering and our approach towards sustainability, environmental stewardship and governance. Achieving a 99th percentile ranking in our first two years of participating in the program is a credit to our team. The market is moving to us as it searches for sustainable alternatives,” continued MacDonald.
“
Independent third-party rankings support our outreach activities. Consumers and retailers are increasingly aware of the production and supply chain practices of manufacturers. We offer a solution that directly addresses these issues, reducing their carbon footprint with a healthier offering,” added MacDonald.
Based on its rating, EcoSynthetix’ program qualifies as a structured and proactive sustainability approach. The Company exhibits engagement and tangible actions on major issues with detailed implementation information with significant sustainability reporting on actions and key performance indicators.
