CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 11, 2026--

Americhem, a globally recognized designer and manufacturer of custom color masterbatch, functional additives, engineered compounds, and performance technologies, has earned the EcoVadis Gold rating, placing the company among the top 5% of organizations assessed globally for sustainability performance in their sector.

EcoVadis is one of the world’s most widely used business sustainability assessment platforms, evaluating companies across Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The Gold rating reflects not only the presence of sustainable policies but also the robustness of management systems, documentation, and implementation practices, as evaluated by EcoVadis across Americhem’s global operations.

The EcoVadis Gold rating follows Americhem’s prior Silver ratings in recent years and reflects continued strengthening of environmental stewardship, governance, and management systems across the organization.

“This recognition reflects how our teams run the business every day,” said John Richard, CEO of Americhem. “EcoVadis Gold is not tied to a single initiative or announcement. It’s the result of disciplined processes, accountable leadership, and sustained focus across our global organization.”

Americhem’s sustainability strategy is structured around People, Process, and Product, emphasizing measurable progress that is embedded into operational decision-making rather than managed as a standalone program. This approach is detailed in the company’s 2025 Sustainability Report, which documents governance oversight, risk management practices, operational controls, and continuous improvement efforts across its global manufacturing footprint.

Across its facilities, Americhem has strengthened environmental management practices through expanded renewable electricity sourcing and site-level tracking of environmental performance to drive continuous improvement, and expanded supply chain transparency through policies, audits, and performance monitoring. These systems are designed to support regulatory readiness, operational consistency, and long-term reliability for customers operating in technically demanding and regulated markets.

From a product perspective, Americhem partners closely with customers to develop polymer solutions that support sustainability objectives while maintaining performance, quality, and processing reliability. These solutions are engineered to perform in real-world manufacturing environments, where consistency and risk reduction are critical.

“Sustainability at Americhem is driven by structure and accountability,” said Lauren Faenkov, Global Sustainability Leader. “The EcoVadis Gold rating validates the systems we’ve put in place and reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and responsible operations.”

Americhem views the EcoVadis Gold rating as both recognition and responsibility. The company remains focused on strengthening governance, refining operational controls, and supporting customer requirements through disciplined execution rather than aspirational claims.
