Alltech Vietnam has received a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, highlighting its achievements in sustainability and placing it in the top 14% of companies assessed globally. This recognition affirms Alltech’s dedication to environmentally sustainable practices and its vision of “Working Together for a Planet of Plenty®.”
EcoVadis, known for evaluating corporate sustainability, uses 21 criteria across four main areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The assessments are aligned with global standards, such as the United Nations Global Compact and the International Labour Organisation conventions.
Only 32 companies in Vietnam have been awarded this Silver Medal, with just six receiving it this year. The award particularly honours Alltech’s PDMM Vietnam facility, its first organic mineral production site in the country, which began operations in early 2022.
The PDMM team emphasises a systematic approach to meet regulatory standards and ensure high-quality production. Key green initiatives at the facility include using a CNG burner for drying products, enhancing heat recovery, and implementing rooftop solar installations, all contributing to significant carbon emissions reduction.
“Asia plays a vital role in Alltech’s global purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty®,” stated Dr. Mark Lyons, President and CEO of Alltech. He added that the Silver Medal reflects both the hard work of the Vietnamese team and Alltech’s belief in the positive impact of business on society, animals, and the environment.
“This Silver Medal from EcoVadis is a powerful validation of Alltech Vietnam’s efforts and our global ESG ambition,” remarked Tara McCarthy, Alltech’s Global Vice President of ESG. She emphasised that sustainability is a core operational principle at Alltech.
