Glenroy, Inc. announced today that it has achieved a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability assessments. Achieving EcoVadis Silver status places Glenroy among the top 15% of all companies scored.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. More than 130,000 companies globally have been rated by EcoVadis.
“We are thrilled to progress from last year’s bronze medal, showcasing our relentless commitment to sustainability,” said Evan Arnold, President of Glenroy. “Our team excelled by identifying key actions, crafting a strategic plan, and executing it flawlessly. The EcoVadis framework inspires us to continually improve, and at Glenroy, we are dedicated to our mission of protecting the environment and achieving our ambitious sustainability goals.”
In only its third year of evaluation, Glenroy advanced from a bronze to silver medal recognition by targeting key improvement areas. This past year, Glenroy improved reporting of sustainable materials, enhanced documentation of labor policies, advanced internal sustainability training, and improved processes for waste flow and usage of water, electricity, and fuel.
“We are proud to stand out in our industry with advanced systems that manage the environmental impacts of our manufacturing processes. Our commitment to health and safety also sets us apart, prioritizing the well-being of our employees,” notes Emily Rock, Product Development Engineer. “Additionally, Glenroy partners with our customers to support them in their own sustainability journey with our TruRenu line of flexible packaging, which combines lightweight, resource-efficient design with PCR content and recyclable films to deliver maximum functionality with reduced environmental impact.”
EcoVadis’ business sustainability ratings are based on international sustainability standards such as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards and the ISO 26000 standard. The ratings provide an evidenced-based analysis on performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.
Glenroy remains committed to improving its sustainability efforts and looks forward to making further progress with valuable feedback from EcoVadis.
