Verescence, world leader in glass bottles for perfumery and cosmetics, has been awarded Gold status for the second year running by EcoVadis, a rating agency specializing in the assessment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and is once again among the 1 % top-rated companies in 2019.
The EcoVadis agency confirms Verescence's Gold status and highlights its progress in terms of social and environmental responsibility, awarding it a score1 of 77/100, an increase of +6 points. This places the Group among the 1 % of global companies with the most advanced CSR approaches, according to the EcoVadis ranking. All its production sites in France, Spain and the United States also confirmed their gold medal status.
According to Alain Thorré, CSR Director at Verescence: "The EcoVadis Gold Medal is strong recognition of our CSR commitments and our Glass Made To Last strategy. We are very proud of the scores achieved by our sites, and today we want to go even further, by also involving all our suppliers in our approach to improving CSR performance throughout our value chain. That's why we organized our first Supplier CSR Day last October with over 40 partner companies.
Verescence, which has published its second Sustainability Report 2018-2019, was also recognized earlier in the year for the CSR performance of its US subsidiary with a "Sustainable Leadership Award" at the Sustain 2019 event and by CDP, which positions the glassmaker in Group B for Climate Change & Water Consumption.
