Himadri Speciality Chemical Receives Second Consecutive EcoVadis Platinum Rating

Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd has secured the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for the second year running, placing the company among the top 1% of over 150,000 organizations evaluated worldwide for sustainability practices.

The Platinum rating recognizes Himadri's performance across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. EcoVadis assesses companies against 21 criteria benchmarked to international standards including the UN Global Compact, International Labour Organization conventions, Global Reporting Initiative, and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework.

Anurag Choudhary, Chairman, Managing Director and CEO of Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd, described the achievement as validation of the company's integrated approach to sustainability. He noted that as Himadri expands its operations across 56 countries, sustainability remains central to its business strategy and value creation for stakeholders.

The recognition strengthens Himadri's position with global customers, investors and partners who increasingly rely on third-party ESG assessments when evaluating business relationships. The company's sustainability initiatives include investments in energy efficiency, emission reduction, circular economy practices, and employee well-being programs.

Himadri operates eight zero-liquid discharge manufacturing facilities and sources 100% of its electrical energy requirements from in-house clean power generation. The company produces lithium-ion battery materials, specialty carbon black, coal tar pitch, and other chemical products for industries including batteries, paints, plastics, tires, aluminum, and construction.
