Verescence, a glassmaker for the beauty industry, has received the Platinum medal from EcoVadis, the highest level of recognition that distinguishes the top 1% of the world’s most advanced companies in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Verescence scored 79/100 in 2020, a 2-point improvement compared to last year. The glassmaker confirms its rank among the most committed and most advanced companies in CSR among the 60,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide, all sectors combined.
All of its production sites in France, Spain and the United States have also achieved Platinum level, a first in the glass packaging industry for Perfumery & Cosmetics.
Alain Thorré, CSR director of Verescence stated, “We are very honored to achieve the highest level of CSR performance with the new EcoVadis Platinum medal for all of our sites around the world. These results once again confirm the relevance of our Glass Made to Last approach and encourage us to continue our efforts to achieve the ambitious objectives set by the Group, in particular as part the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).”
Verescence is constantly optimizing the environmental impact of its processes. The company participates in the "Furnace of the future" project, a key milestone for the industry towards climate-neutral glass packaging. Most recently, the Group joined the “VERCANE: fusion de VERre CArboNEutre” program (carbon neutral glass melting), an ambitious R&D program to support the industrial glass sector in its efforts to decarbonize glass production by evaluating energy sources for a sustainable industrial process.
