Kemira has succeeded in significantly improving its score over the past couple of years. This year, Kemira’s score peaked again to the highest level in the company’s history: 83 points out of 100. This means that, according to the EcoVadis assessment, Kemira is among the top 3% of companies globally in corporate sustainability.

“Last year, we improved our ranking significantly, and now we have improved it even further,” said Saara Lähdetie, Senior Manager and ESG Controller responsible for Kemira’s sustainability reporting.

EcoVadis assesses companies’ performance in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and responsible and sustainable procurement. Its methodology is based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the UN Global Compact, and ISO 26000.
