Diamond Packaging has been awarded a Platinum rating by EcoVadis, a global advocate for sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
The award is the highest recognition given by EcoVadis and places Diamond in the top 1% of all companies evaluated worldwide. Diamond received a Gold rating the previous four years.
“We’re very proud of this recognition as it affirms our commitment to sustainability and value as a supply chain partner,” said Dennis Bacchetta, director of marketing and founding member of Diamond’s Green Team. “By designing packaging with an emphasis on recyclable or recycled materials and energy-efficient production methods, we can stand behind the integrity of our products on behalf of our stakeholders and our planet.”
Diamond ranked in the top 1% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis in the category “Manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard and of containers of paper and paperboard.”
Diamond ranked highest in the Environment category, which comprises both operational factors (e.g., energy consumption, waste management) and product stewardship (e.g., product use, customer health and safety).
Today, Diamond’s packaging is designed utilizing recyclable or recycled paperboards (many FSC-certified), and manufactured using 100% clean, renewable wind energy, in a Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) and Carbon Neutral (Scope 1 and Scope 2) facility.
