Barentz International, a leading global distributor of life science ingredients, has been granted Silver Level recognition from EcoVadis for its environmental, social and governance (ESG) program.
This is the second consecutive year in which Barentz has participated in the robust EcoVadis ESG review program.
“At Barentz, we’re in the business of creating better solutions; solutions that enable sustained success for our customers and communities, our principals, people and ultimately the planet,” said Hidde van der Wal, CEO. “We intensified and strengthened our efforts over the last year and this silver rating is the result of the support and participation of every single Barentz colleague throughout the world. We are all highly motivated to continue this journey."
Barentz was rated on 21 CSR indicators within environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement categories. With this Silver level recognition, Barentz places itself in the top 50th percentile of all globally-rated ESG programs. This award reflects Barentz’ ambition and commitment towards bettering their ESG performance and working with partners that align with these values.
“The EcoVadis review is an important independent third-party assessment of our environmental, social and governance program,” said Scott Simmons, Barentz’ global director of ESG. “We are extremely proud to be recognized by EcoVadis for our efforts and ongoing commitment in these areas. We take our responsibilities to our customers, communities, and employees seriously. We look forward to continuing to grow our ESG programs in 2022 and beyond."
