Biochem, an innovative animal nutrition company specializing in feed additives and dietary supplements, has been awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis, one of the most trusted providers of sustainability ratings across all industries. In an increasingly sustainability-driven world, this rating highlights Biochem’s commitment to achieving excellence in this area and gives customers confidence in selecting Biochem as a key supplier of quality products.
“Receiving a silver medal again is a positive acknowledgment for us,” said Anna Hüttmannsberger, Sustainability Manager at Biochem. “This award is recognition of our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices and the work of our employees to make positive impacts.”
In 2017, Biochem received its first rating from EcoVadis, and it has since demonstrated consistent improvement across all four core themes. In this year’s rating, Biochem received an overall score of 74, placing the company in the 92nd percentile. EcoVadis identified several of Biochem’s key strengths, including transparency regarding comprehensive policies on ethics and policies addressing environmental, labor, and human rights issues.
EcoVadis medals and badges recognize companies that have completed the assessment process and, when compared to other assessed companies, have demonstrated a strong management system that addresses sustainability criteria. Ratings provide an evidence-based analysis of performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement across four core themes: Environment, Ethics, Labor, and Human Rights, and Sustainable Procurement.
EcoVadis’ business sustainability ratings are based on international sustainability standards, such as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards and ISO 26000.
“This year’s rating reflects our multifaceted commitment to sustainability,” continued Hüttmannsberger. “It demonstrates that we have embedded sustainability across all our business processes. We are working every day towards our sustainability ambitions.”
As an innovative producer of feed additives and dietary feed supplements, Biochem remains committed to a future of responsible production and environmentally friendly growth.
