In 2022, EcoVadis conducted an initial sustainability audit of Avantium, which also resulted in a Gold Medal award, placing Avantium in the top 4% of companies rated globally by EcoVadis. The improved 2023 score, elevating Avantium to the top 2%, resulted from enhanced performance in the areas of Environment, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. In 2021, Avantium published its sustainability plan Chain Reaction 2030, committing Avantium to a series of goals and targets where it has the greatest impact on social and environmental issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Elina Eradus-Sviklina, Sustainability Program Manager at Avantium<\/strong>, comments: &#8220;We are very pleased that this year&#8217;s EcoVadis audit resulted in an even higher score than the previous year.
