Ahlstrom-Munksjö awarded Platinum rating by EcoVadis

The company’s efforts have been rewarded, placing the group among the top one percent of companies assessed by Eco Vadis. The rating is an improvement from the Gold level rating, which Ahlstrom-Munksjö was previously rated in 2019. The new score increased significantly in environmental performance as well as labor and human rights.

EcoVadis is a globally recognized rating system that brings visibility to sustainability performance. The Corporate Social Responsibility assessment criteria include environmental, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The EcoVadis methodology builds on international sustainability reporting principles, including the Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000, and is audited by independent sustainability experts.

With this process, Ahlstrom-Munksjö ensures that its environmental, social and corporate governance system supports the group’s sustainability ambition and strategy and answers challenges like emission reduction and resource efficiency, responsible sourcing and transition to a circular economy, equal opportunities and well-being in the workplace as well as a positive contribution to our local communities, transparency and ethics.  

‘During the past year, we have made a significant change in sustainability and put it as a key value driver for our growing business. We have a sharper sustainability strategy, an integrated operative model, and a solid and holistic set of key performance indicators to help us monitor and evaluate our performance. We are thrilled and proud to move from the gold rating to platinum, as this gives us external validation that our ambition has been recognized and the concrete actions are already bearing fruit,’ said Johan Lunabba, vice president of sustainability and public affairs at Ahlstrom-Munksjö.
