Participating in the assessment for the fourth consecutive year, Archroma had set itself the target to reach the EcoVadis ‘Platinum’ rating.
“Sustainability is a process,” says Heike van de Kerkhof, CEO at Archroma. “We started our journey with the EcoVadis assessments only four years ago. Our progress all the way to the Platinum rating is testament to our continuous efforts and hard work to improve our societal, environmental and economic performance, and that of our customers.”
Last month, Archoma said it will be increasing the prices of its products from October as a result of “exceptionally high” shipping costs.
In a statement on 29 September, the company said its product prices will increase by up to US$0.25 per kg with effect from 1 October and will apply to all products globally.
