HEXPOL TPE Receives EcoVadis' Platinum Medal for Sustainability
In recognition of their sustainability work HEXPOL TPE, the international polymer compounding group has achieved platinum status in the EcoVadis ratings for their site in Manchester, UK.
The platinum rating puts HEXPOL TPE's UK site in the top one per cent of companies evaluated in its industry. It was awarded at the end of 2021. The EcoVadis assessment focuses on performance over four themes: the environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
"It takes commitment from many individuals to really work on sustainability. This accomplishment reflects the efforts of employees across the business. It's really the result of people caring about the direction we take and using that concern in their roles," commented Kirsty Wood, sustainability lead at HEXPOL TPE Ltd.
