Sun Chemical announced that the company has earned a silver rating for its sustainability performance from EcoVadis, provider of business sustainability ratings. The recognition places Sun Chemical in the top 15% of rated companies within its business sector.

The EcoVadis rating reflects Sun Chemical’s performance across four key areas: environment, sustainable procurement, ethics, and labor and human rights. Sun Chemical’s strong performance in these categories underscores the effectiveness of its sustainability strategy and measurable progress toward its ESG (environmental, social, governance) goals.

“At Sun Chemical, sustainability is not just a responsibility, it is a catalyst for innovation,” said Mike Simoni, global sustainability director, Sun Chemical. “This recognition from EcoVadis validates our efforts to embed sustainability into every facet of our operations, from product development to global partnerships.”

The silver rating supports Sun Chemical’s broader sustainability roadmap, which includes ambitious targets for carbon reduction, circular economy initiatives, and transparent stakeholder engagement. Organized into three pillars of sustainable operations, collaborative sustainability initiatives and sustainable products and services, Sun Chemical’s sustainability achievements position the company as a trusted partner for customers seeking sustainable chemical solutions. 

Sun Chemical reports that, guided by its proprietary 5R framework — Reuse, Reduce, Renew, Recycle and Redesign — the company addresses both upstream and downstream environmental impacts. Operational and technological initiatives under this framework have reduced Sun Chemical’s carbon footprint, conserved virgin resources, and minimized waste. This comprehensive approach positions the company as a leader in sustainable practices across the inks, pigments, coatings, and adhesives industries.

EcoVadis has evaluated more than 150,000 companies using a methodology built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Standard. Its ratings span over 250 spend categories and 185 countries.
