AFYREN awarded Silver Medal by ECOVADIS with an improved score
- AFYREN’s silver rating confirmed by sustainability ratings leader EcoVadis, with a score improved by 7 points
- AFYREN is in the top 15% of all companies evaluated
Clermont-Ferrand/Lyon, November 19th, 2024, 07:30 am CET – AFYREN, a greentech company that offers manufacturers biobased, low-carbon ingredients produced using unique fermentation technology based on a completely circular model, is awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis, one of the most recognized independent CSR assessment platforms, and outperforms its score of last year.
For the second year in a row, AFYREN has been awarded a silver medal by the global rating platform EcoVadis, with a score of 68/100, placing the Company in the top 15% of companies in terms of sustainable development and in the top 8% of its industrial sector.
AFYREN’s rating improved by 7 points compared to last year, despite a more demanding set of criteria due to a change in category (from Small to Medium-sized company). This recognition testifies to AFYREN’s continuous efforts in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) with a notable score improvement both in the Social and Ethics categories.
EcoVadis ratings are based on international CSR standards, such as the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and ISO 260000. These ratings provide an evidence-based analysis of performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement. Each company is assessed on key issues according to its size, location and business sector.
Caroline PETIGNY, AFYREN’s Chief Sustainability Officer, stated: “We are delighted to have improved our Ecovadis score and maintained our silver medal this year, despite a more demanding set of criteria. Throughout its development, AFYREN continues its progress in terms of CSR and wishes to increase its impact. Sustainability is core to our value proposition, but we are striving to go even further, combining industrial development with best practices in terms of environmental and social responsibility.”
