Huhtamaki’s EcoVadis scores rose from 65 (94th percentile) in 2020 to 71 points (97th percentile) this year. This significant improvement was driven by the company’s environmental policy and actions towards energy efficiency and waste management, as well as sustainable procurement.
EcoVadis’ rating methodology primarily serves to measure the quality of the sustainability management system of a company through its policies, actions, and results across industry. With a score point range starting from 45 to a maximum of 100, the assessment focuses on various criteria assembled into four themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
“We are happy our unrelentless focus on embedding sustainability across our operations and our product solutions is being recognized externally. We are delighted with our improved EcoVadis gold rating from silver last year. This is a significant step forward, reflecting the focus we have on delivering on our 2030 Sustainability ambitions step by step, continuously learning, assessing and working across our value chain to improve on our ESG commitments,” said Thomasine Kamerling, Huhtamaki EVP, sustainability and communications.
