Inks developer Siegwerk has received the EcoVadis Silver Medal rating across all its business units and regions. Siegwerk’s overall score is considered in the top 15% of companies in the manufacture of printing inks, paints, varnishes and similar coatings.
The EcoVadis methodology is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO2600, covering 200 industries and more than 160 countries.
Its rating for Siegwerk reflects the ambitions the company set out in its 2025 sustainability initiative HorizonNow, with its targets aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By 2025, seven targets are to be achieved, including carbon neutral scope 1 and 2 emissions and achieving 75% of sales from products and services enabling circular packaging.
“The Silver Medal is a testimony to the effort and focus we have put on building a leading role in the realm of sustainable business practices in the inks and coatings industry. And we are proud of what the organisation has achieved, while still striving for ever-increasing sustainability in our operations and with our up- and downstream value chain partners,” said Alina Marm, Siegwerk’s global head of sustainability and circular economy.
