Aenova, the world's leading contract development and manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, has achieved silver status in the latest EcoVadis sustainability rating. This documents the Aenova Group's continuous improvement of its sustainability in the categories "environment", "labor and human rights", "ethics" and "sustainable procurement".
Certified proof of sustainability in the areas of environment, labor, ethics and procurement is becoming increasingly important for companies and their suppliers. Almost half of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies use the EcoVadis assessment for this purpose. The Aenova Group also submits to the annual EcoVadis assessment and scored this year with a significant improvement from bronze to silver medal. In the areas of environment and labor and human rights, the best results were achieved with 70 out of 100 maximum possible points. With a percentile of 84, Aenova is among the top 25 percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis.
"The production steps in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive. Our good result also distinguishes our responsible approach to natural resources," explains Dr. Pedro Diaz-Kraus, Vice President Corporate HSES and responsible for the EcoVadis project at Aenova. "We are very pleased that we have now been able to improve our sustainability score from bronze to silver!"
