Sustainability assessment places ELIX Polymers in top 2% of companies

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) producer, ELIX Polymers, has been awarded the EcoVadis gold level Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) certification following this year’s annual evaluation.

ELIX Polymers undergoes a series of audits and assessments on an annual basis by EcoVadis, an agency in the CSR sector. Following the tests, the company received the EcoVadis gold level CSR certification in the ranking published by the agency - an independent rating entity specialising in sustainable development and performance control. This is the fourth year ELIX Polymers has received the gold award.

According to the assessment feedback, ELIX Polymers, which submitted its sustainability data to EcoVadis for evaluation, has maintained its standards in all areas, was included in the top 2% of all rated companies, and received a score of 71 out of 100 that enabled the company to obtain the gold qualification.

Judith Banus, head of the corporate social responsibility programme at ELIX Polymers, commented: “We are proud to say that this year, we have again obtained the highest rating awarded in the EcoVadis certification. This recognition is the result of the consolidation of good practices in sustainability, in the widest sense, throughout our entire process chain. All this is the consequence of the firm belief of all our staff in CSR values and we would like to congratulate them for their effort and commitment.“

In 2017, the company obtained its first certification with the highest level of recognition. In 2020, the company has again obtained the gold medal - making it the fourth consecutive year achieving this level from EcoVadis.

David Castañeda, the company’s CEO, added: “ELIX Polymers is committed to the integration of SDGs as the drivers of its strategy in the forthcoming years, with the aim of providing a response to our society’s demand for a more sustainable economic model. This award is a token of this commitment, and it encourages us to continue to play an active part in rising to that challenge“.
