Basel, October 28, 2024
EcoVadis, the world’s largest provider of sustainability ratings, has awarded the prestigious Platinum rating to the sustainability management at Liveo Research’s pharmaceutical packaging site in Singapore. It is ranked in the top 1% of over 100,000 companies evaluated globally by EcoVadis. In the last survey a year ago, Singapore was awarded the Gold medal.
Liveo Research has developed a sustainability strategy based on three pillars: Planet, People and Products. This strategic framework is implemented at all sites of the company with specific targets, strategies and measures defined for each pillar. Their implementation is constantly monitored. As an example, progress in the area of decarbonization is monitored through SBTi.
EcoVadis has now assessed the progress of the Singapore site in four areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. This broad analysis reflects the detailed sustainability strategy of Liveo Research AG and shows the significant progress the company has made. The Singapore site performed particularly well in the areas of environment and labor & human rights, where it was scored 90/100.
“We are very proud that after our US site in Delaware, the Singapore site has now also been awarded this prestigious Platinum medal by EcoVadis,” says Dr. Carsten Heldmann, CEO of Liveo Research.
