JMC has again achieved Bronze medal status in an EcoVadis assessment of our sustainability strategy and practices. This is a strong validation of our efforts to sustainably make the world’s highest quality saccharin.
JMC is a leading figure in the global chemical industry, renowned for producing the world’s highest quality saccharin. Our company’s reputation for excellence is not just built on superior product quality but also on a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, safety and ethical practices. These commitments are affirmed through various prestigious accreditations that provide our customers with the assurance that our operations are safe for our employees, our clients and the planet.
Among these, the EcoVadis certification stands out as a significant endorsement of our dedication to sustainability. EcoVadis is globally recognized as a rigorous and reliable independent assessment body that evaluates companies on a wide range of non-financial management systems including Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The certification process involves a thorough review of a company’s policies, actions and outcomes across four main themes: environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Holding the EcoVadis Bronze Medal demonstrates JMC’s adherence to the highest standards in all these areas. It places us in the top 35% of all companies across all industries. This rating reassures our stakeholders that we are actively engaged in reducing environmental impact, ensuring fairness and safety in our labor practices, behaving ethically in all our business dealings and responsibly managing our supply chain. This certification is not merely an award; it is an ongoing commitment to improving our practices and pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a leader in the chemical industry.
Furthermore, this external validation through EcoVadis helps to position JMC as a trustworthy and forward-thinking partner in the chemical sector. It underscores our pledge to not only meet but exceed the evolving expectations of our customers and regulatory bodies around the world. As we continue to innovate and expand our product offerings, these certifications keep us aligned with the best practices and ensure continuous improvement in our corporate responsibility efforts.
At JMC, we believe that our responsibility extends beyond our immediate operations. We are dedicated to influencing the entire chemical industry positively, leading by example in sustainability and safety. By maintaining such standards, we not only enhance our competitive edge but also contribute to a healthier planet and society.
