The EcoVadis assessment focuses on 21 criteria which are grouped into 4 themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

Archroma has built a strong reputation as a global leader in developing innovations and systems that help minimise resource, increase productivity and create value for its customers. The company refers to this commitment as “The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, efficient, enhanced, it’s our nature”.

"Archroma walks the walk. Archroma, which was undergoing the assessment for the third year, had set itself the target to reach the EcoVadis “Gold” rating. Archroma will use the report to further improve its CSR performance and target setting," the Swiss company said in a media release.

"For Archroma, sustainability is a process of bringing continued improvement to our societal, environmental and economic performance, and that of our customers," said Heike van de Kerkhof, CEO at Archroma. "We are extremely proud of this first Gold rating by EcoVadis, which is a strong encouragement that we are heading to the right direction in the way we run our own operations, because it’s our nature!"
