Governance

As a company, INEOS Hygienics recognise the importance of having our systems and processes externally validated which is why, as part of our overarching business governance programs we are looking to also include some important environmental certifications such as ISO14001.

We’re also consciously aware of our sourcing programs with suppliers and looking to move as many products as possible to Vegan status.

In December, INEOS received a gold sustainability score from EcoVadis

In December our parent company, INEOS, received a gold sustainability score from EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.

The rating puts INEOS into the top 8% of companies in the sector demonstrating an advanced management system in terms of environment issues, ethics, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement.

INEOS scored particularly well on its environmental performance. In this category it was placed it into the top 6% of companies in the sector. This environmental performance rating reflects INEOS' commitment to pursue science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, where INEOS roadmaps to net zero focus on switching to green power and clean fuels, capturing CO2 and switching to recycled or bio-feedstock. INEOS is also committed to reducing plastic waste, as demonstrated in its pledge to a new circular approach to plastics production.
