Alleima has been awarded with the gold medal by EcoVadis, a leading provider of corporate sustainability ratings. This recognition of sustainable business practices places Alleima in the top 5% among the more than 130,000 companies assessed worldwide.

“We are proud to have been awarded the EcoVadis gold medal. This confirms that we have the ability, the capacity, and the commitment to handle a broad range of sustainability aspects. The fact that we are now improving our last year’s silver rating to a gold medal also shows that we are committed and constantly looking for how to improve our work within sustainability,” says Johnny Ulander, Sustainability Manager at Alleima.

“EcoVadis is an important tool for us when evaluating sustainability aspects among suppliers in the value chain. Our gold medal provides an opportunity for our customers to evaluate us in the same way,” says Håkan Sundström, Head of Sustainability and Governance at Alleima.

Alleima has a relatively low climate footprint from operations due to the use of recycled steel (~83%) and fossil-free electricity in production facilities and is committed to minimizing its social and environmental impact through reducing its water usage, careful chemical management, and effective use of by-products such as slag, dust, and process gases.

EcoVadis is one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, intelligence, and collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply chains.
