For the third time in a row, OQ Chemicals has been awarded Gold status for its supply chain sustainability management by the international, independent rating platform EcoVadis. Compared to the previous year, the company was able to further improve its score.

This rating places OQ Chemicals in the top 5% of the companies assessed in its peer group worldwide.

“We are very pleased to have achieved Gold status with EcoVadis again this year and to have been able to improve our overall score once more. Our most recent sustainability audit according to the TfS (Together for Sustainability) standard at our Oberhausen site resulted in an excellent score of 96%. This has enabled us to create even more transpar-ency for our commitment and to impressively demonstrate on-site that we not only set ourselves goals but also pursue them,” said Dr. Ina Werxhausen, director sustainability & corporate communications at OQ Chemicals.

“As a sustainable company, we are aware of our great responsibility for climate and envi-ronmental protection,” added Dr. Oliver Borgmeier, CEO of OQ Chemicals. “As such, our global project to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next few years is an important part of our strategic orientation to prepare our company for the future. We also have our sights firmly set on the key issues of the coming years, such as the EU tax-onomy regulation. The use of renewable raw materials is one of the first important steps which we have initiated with the ISCC Plus certification of our Monheim, Oberhausen, and Marl sites.”
