 After netting two consecutive Golds from sustainability ratings agency EcoVadis, Azelis has now been awarded a Platinum rating, the highest distinction in the EcoVadis supplier sustainability rating scheme.

With the EcoVadis Platinum grading, Azelis is in the top 1 percent of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. 

This recognition makes Azelis the first global specialty chemicals and food ingredients distributor and innovation service provider to be awarded Platinum by EcoVadis. 

Due diligence 
With a score of 77, Azelis secures a place among the top 1 percent of the world’s 75,000 best-rated companies. 

The award reinforces Azelis’ objective to become a leading provider of sustainable solutions and services in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry.  

EcoVadis tests and rates the performance of companies in the areas of environmental protection, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. 

The Platinum rating, introduced in 2020, is awarded to companies that receive an overall score between 73 and 100. EcoVadis has assessed Azelis since 2015.

Sustainable supply chains 
The highest score increase was on sustainable procurement, an improvement that Azelis attributes to its membership to “Together for Sustainability,” which plays a significant role in the company’s selecion and evaluation of the supply chain. 

“As a member of the ‘Together for Sustainability’ industry initiative, we ask our suppliers to undertake the EcoVadis assessments. With these assessments, we evaluate our business partners from a sustainability perspective which enables us to increase the sustainability of the chemical industry supply chain as a whole, setting us apart from our competitors,” says Maria Almenar, group safety, health, environment and quality and sustainability director at Azelis.

“Through the tools offered by ‘Together for Sustainability,’ we have strengthened our due diligence procedures for the evaluation of our suppliers, leading to an improvement of our score in the EcoVadis rating.”

Dr. Hans Joachim Müller, Azelis CEO, adds: “Our focus on sustainability is an ongoing and exciting journey. Our efforts have been intensified and strengthened over the last year through the launch of ‘Action 2025’, our sustainability strategy, and all our actions with regards to our workforce, the planet, our communities, and through responsible business principles.”

“By converting the sustainability aspirations of our principals and customers into innovative sustainable solutions, we want to make a difference and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
