The Platinum rating places Himadri among the top 1 per cent of more than 150,000 companies assessed worldwide by EcoVadis, reaffirming the company’s consistent leadership in responsible business practices and sustainable value creation. The evaluation measures performance across 21 criteria under four core pillars: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. The assessment is benchmarked against internationally recognised frameworks including the UN Global Compact, ILO conventions, GRI and TCFD.

Securing back-to-back Platinum recognition highlights Himadri’s deeply embedded sustainability approach, supported by strong governance structures, climate-conscious operations, ethical business conduct and responsible supply chain management.

Sustainability remains central to Himadri’s long-term growth strategy, reflected in focused investments in energy efficiency, emission reduction, circularity initiatives, employee well-being and transparent disclosures aligned with global ESG standards.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr Anurag Choudhary, CMD & CEO of Himadri Specialty Chemical Ltd, said that earning the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for a second consecutive year is a major milestone and validates the company’s integration of sustainability into its business strategy and decision-making. He added that the recognition reflects the team’s collective commitment to responsible manufacturing, ethical practices and continuous improvement. Himadri continues to expand its global footprint across 56 nations and reiterated that sustainability will remain fundamental to creating long-term stakeholder value while contributing to a low-carbon and resilient future.
