Alltech Spain earned an EcoVadis Gold Medal with a score of 85 out of 100, ranking the company in the top 2% of organizations assessed globally. The recognition underscores Alltech Spain’s strong ESG performance and long-term commitment to sustainability.
Alltech Spain has been awarded a Gold Medal from EcoVadis, the leading provider of business sustainability ratings, with an overall result of 85 out of 100 — putting the office in the 98th percentile of all companies assessed.
“This means our performance in Spain places us in the top 2% of companies globally, across all industries,” said Tara McCarthy, Alltech’s Global Vice President of ESG. “Four years ago, Alltech outlined a strategic vision for our ESG ambitions with a focus on proof points and team confidence. Over that time, we’ve expanded our policies, introduced new systems, conducted training and partnered with our value chain — in short, we’ve taken a lot of action. It gives a great sense of achievement to the entire Alltech team to see that EcoVadis has recognized these efforts.”
That achievement was even more impressive than usual this year, as the competitive landscape was especially strong. The companies assessed in the current 12-month cycle achieved higher average results than in prior years, making percentile positioning even more demanding than usual. According to the company, achieving this recognition in a more competitive benchmarking environment reflects the powerful performance of Alltech Spain over the past year and is a testament to the team’s disciplined work and commitment to sustainability.
“Great work done with passion, commitment and dedication by the Alltech Spain team, led by Paula Senz, culture and talent manager for Alltech Iberia, and Rocio Noguera, Alltech Iberia sustainability technician,” said Alex Galipienso, General Director at Alltech Iberia. “Congratulations to both as leaders of the project, and thank you to all the Spanish team involved in the project. Without the commitment of the entire team and the help from all departments, this would not have been possible.”
According to Alltech, this medal, and others that have been awarded to the company, are a testament to the company’s purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty® and its commitment to implementing environmentally and economically sustainable solutions, fostering ethical business conduct, and prioritizing the efficient production of nutritious food. Alltech notes that the EcoVadis process validates the company’s sustainability performance and offers a clear roadmap for enhancing its impact.
EcoVadis rigorously evaluates companies across 21 sustainability criteria based on international sustainability standards. A strong EcoVadis assessment ensures that a company is recognized by customers, partners, industries and government entities as being truly dedicated to advancing environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles in its operations.
Medals are awarded by EcoVadis based on percentile rankings against all the companies assessed over the previous 12 months.
