Sun Chemical achieves silver sustainability rating

Sun Chemical has earned a silver rating for sustainability performance from EcoVadis, positioning it among the top 15 percent of rated companies within its business sector and validating the chemical manufacturer's environmental, social and governance strategy.

The rating from the world's largest business sustainability ratings provider evaluates Sun Chemical's performance across environment, sustainable procurement, ethics, and labor and human rights categories. EcoVadis has assessed more than 150,000 companies using a methodology built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Standard.

'At Sun Chemical, sustainability is not just a responsibility, it is a catalyst for innovation,' commented Mike Simoni, global sustainability director at Sun Chemical. 'This recognition from EcoVadis validates our efforts to embed sustainability into every facet of our operations, from product development to global partnerships.'

The silver rating supports Sun Chemical's sustainability roadmap, which includes carbon reduction targets, circular economy initiatives and stakeholder engagement programs. The company has organized its sustainability approach into three pillars: sustainable operations, collaborative sustainability initiatives and sustainable products and services.

Sun Chemical operates under its proprietary '5R framework' encompassing Reuse, Reduce, Renew, Recycle and Redesign principles to address upstream and downstream environmental impacts. These operational and technological initiatives have reduced the company's carbon footprint, conserved virgin resources and minimized waste across inks, pigments, coatings and adhesives operations.

The recognition positions Sun Chemical as a trusted partner for customers seeking sustainable chemical applications. EcoVadis ratings span over 250 spend categories across 185 countries, providing a comprehensive sustainability assessment for global businesses.
