A New Milestone for Premix: EcoVadis Gold Medal 2025

Post image

I am incredibly proud to share that Premix has reached a new milestone on our sustainability journey: our first-ever EcoVadis Gold Medal. This places us in the top 5% of companies globally evaluated by EcoVadis, bringing us up to 98th percentile ranking among our peers. 

This achievement is not just a number; it’s a testament to the dedication, passion, and collaboration of our entire team — from R&D and production to every single employee who contributes to making Premix a leader in sustainable materials innovation. 

 

Building on Our Strengths 

Our high score also on Environment reflects our commitment to continuous improvement. We have comprehensive policies in place covering water, energy, materials, air pollution, and product use — each contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable products for our customers . 

We’ve set quantitative objectives for: 
✅ Energy consumption & greenhouse gas emissions 
✅ Water usage 
✅ Materials, chemicals, and waste management 

These actions help us reduce environmental impact while supporting our partners’ goals in carbon footprint reduction and regulatory compliance. 

Commitment Beyond Compliance 

At Premix, sustainability is not a checkbox exercise. It’s part of who we are. Our ISO 14001 certification and adherence to frameworks like the Responsible Care Global Charter reflect our dedication to responsible operations . 

We’ve also prioritized transparency, with KPIs covering everything from energy and water use to Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. This transparency builds trust and strengthens our relationships with customers, partners, and the communities we serve. 

A Collective Achievement 

This Gold Medal belongs to the entire Premix team. It’s the result of cross-functional collaboration, continuous learning, and an unwavering focus on innovation. I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this milestone. 

Looking Ahead 

This is not the finish line — it’s a stepping stone. As we expand our global footprint with our new U.S. manufacturing plant and continue developing new material solutions, we remain committed to advancing sustainability across the entire value chain. 

Partners and customers: Thank you for your trust and collaboration. Let’s keep moving forward, building a safer, more sustainable future — one partnership at a time.
