Specialty chemicals producer Orion S.A. has earned a Platinum rating for its 2025 performance from EcoVadis, an independent provider of business sustainability ratings. The Platinum designation places Orion in the top 1% of companies worldwide evaluated by EcoVadis. The assessment measures performance across four areas: environment, ethics, sustainable procurement, and labor and human rights.    

“Achieving a Platinum rating for 2025 capped another successful year for sustainability at Orion,” explained Orion CEO Corning Painter. “Among many achievements, we launched bio-circular grades of carbon black, improved energy efficiency across our operations, expanded leadership training programs, and won an industry award for safety performance at our plants.”

Painter added, “EcoVadis raises its standards every year, so maintaining our Platinum rating will require a stronger performance in 2026. But I’m confident our colleagues across the world who worked so hard to earn Platinum in 2025 will rise to that challenge again, as Orion continues to make progress on longer-term strategic sustainability goals aimed at cost-effective grades of carbon black.”

In addition to the EcoVadis recognition, Orion maintained a strong B score from CDP, a global nonprofit organization that manages the world's leading system to measure, manage and disclose an organization's environmental impacts.

Announced in December 2025, the CDP rating recognized Orion's progress in mitigating the impact of climate change through effective emissions management. Notably, this past year’s assessment included an upgraded A rating on CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment, based on Orion’s governance, targets, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement.
