Alltech awarded three EcoVadis sustainability medals

Alltech had been awarded a silver medal from EcoVadis, putting it in the top 25% of sustainable companies globally.

The EcoVadis silver medal testifies to Alltech's purpose of "Working Together for a Planet of PlentyTM" and its commitment to prioritising the efficient production of nutritious food while minimising environmental impact, implementing environmentally and economically sustainable solutions, promoting fair labor practices and fostering ethical business conduct, the company said.

Alltech has also earned the EcoVadis platinum medal for its production site in Springfield, Kentucky, the United States, which puts it in the top 1% of the over 200,000 businesses assessed by EcoVadis.

Alltech Coppens, which produces industrial feeds for the aquaculture sector, recently earned gold-medal status, putting it in the top 7% of sustainable companies globally.

"We are delighted to have received multiple EcoVadis medals, as an external endorsement of Alltech's ongoing commitment to the journey that is sustainability," said Tara McCarthy, global vice president of ESG at Alltech.

"At Alltech, we see opportunities in every challenge. We are dedicated to delivering smarter, more sustainable solutions to advance the health and performance of animals while also lowering their impact on the environment," said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and chief executive officer of Alltech. "These awards from EcoVadis recognise the actions we are taking to align our business with our Planet of Plenty purpose — working together to provide nutrition for all, revitalise local economies and replenish the planet's natural resources."

Earlier this year, Alltech released its 2022 Alltech Sustainability Report, which demonstrates the actions the company is taking to align the business with its commitments to the United Nations Global Compact, the UN Ten Principles and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Additionally, the report outlines the steps Alltech has taken to promote an inclusive work environment and highlights its team members' efforts to make a difference in the communities in which they live and work.
