MFG Chemical, a specialty and custom chemical manufacturer, achieved the EcoVadis Silver level. That's up from Bronze in EcoVadis’ sustainability ranking program. MFG Chemical joined the EcoVadis quality ranking system last year with the goal of achieving its Gold ranking.

EcoVadis evaluates companies across 21 criteria based on four major themes: Environment, Ethics, Labor & Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement. Some of the leading companies participating in the EcoVadis sustainability program include P&G, Johnson & Johnson, L'Oréal and Henkel.

“MFG Chemical has worked hard to improve its sustainability ranking in the EcoVadis program,” said Joe Welch, VP-EHS&S. “Last year MFG employees underwent EcoVadis training on all four of their sustainability themes. We also upgraded our pilot plant and all three of MFG’s custom chemical manufacturing plants under our Project Odyssey. Additionally, our three custom manufacturing plants were recertified ISO 9001:2015 for the third consecutive year.” 

MFG Chemical’s CEO Paul Turgeon noted that the EcoVadis program fits with MFG Chemical’s work culture of customer satisfaction and quality.

“I’m pleased to see MFG Chemical moving up in EcoVadis’ sustainability ranking program,” he said. “This is a continuous improvement process, so our next goal is to achieve EcoVadis’ Gold ranking. This program fits nicely with MFG Chemical’s work culture of customer satisfaction and quality.”
