SGD Pharma has achieved a gold medal in the EcoVadis’ 2024 sustainability ratings. Building upon previous years, the pharmaceutical glass company’s score of 77 puts the business in the 98th percentile for manufacturers of glass and glass products.
SGD Pharma has worked hard to implement a range of sustainable practices across its five global manufacturing plants which have been instrumental in securing its gold rating. 81% of the company’s operational lines are ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating its adherence to environmental objectives, while the company’s Vemula, India plant has recently achieved a SA 8000 certification showing its dedication to the highest social standards.
In regards to ethical practice, EcoVadis noted that SGD Pharma has updated its whistleblowing procedures and has recently run an awareness campaign on anti-corruption. Meanwhile, the French purchasing team ensures that the company meets sustainable procurement targets through its ObsAR membership which issues organizations with guidelines on responsible purchasing.
“I’d like to thank everyone involved in the achievement of this fantastic Ecovadis gold rating” CEO Olivier Rousseau said, “As a leader in the global glass pharmaceutical packaging industry, it is crucial that we work to reduce our environmental impact and the credibility of the EcoVadis rating confirms that we are performing well in respect to our peers. Sustainability continues to be a major focus for SGD Pharma and we look forward to challenging ourselves further to ensure a safer and healthier global environment and a lower carbon footprint for our customers."
