Strengthening our sustainability to better support yours
Transparency, compliance and responsible sourcing are becoming increasingly important in today’s chemical industry. As a partner supplying high-quality chemical solutions, we want to make these areas as clear and manageable as possible for the organisations we support.
That is why we take part in the annual EcoVadis sustainability assessment. It provides a structured way to track progress, identify improvement areas and strengthen the way we work with our customers’ expectations in mind.
This year, our EcoVadis score increased to 82, a three-point improvement compared to last year, resulting in a Gold rating. We see this as a practical indicator that our ongoing efforts are contributing to a more transparent, predictable and reliable collaboration.

What this means for your organisation
Strengthened documentation, traceability and governance help simplify your vendor assessments, audits and internal reporting processes.
Reduced supply-chain uncertainty
By reinforcing environmental, ethical and sourcing standards, we aim to reduce the operational and reputational risks that can affect your supply chain.
Better access to accurate information
Our sustainability progress is closely linked to improved data quality and faster information flow, elements that often make a practical difference in day-to-day collaboration.
Support beyond distribution
We see ourselves as more than a supplier. Our technical, market and regulatory knowledge is directly connected to helping you make informed, future-oriented decisions.
A customer perspective: what sustainability progress means in practice
To better understand how our sustainability efforts translate into real value, we asked one of our customers how our EcoVadis progress supports their work.
From their perspective, working with suppliers who actively improve their sustainability performance contributes directly to their own objectives:
“An improved EcoVadis rating for AAKO helps us strengthen our own EcoVadis assessment, alongside the initiatives we undertake ourselves. It also supports us toward our customers, by working with suppliers who are demonstrably engaged in sustainability.”
They also highlight that sustainability performance plays a growing role in day-to-day sourcing decisions:
“When suppliers are comparable in terms of quality, price and delivery reliability, a stronger EcoVadis score can be the deciding factor in choosing one partner over another.”
While sustainability is not the only criterion, its importance continues to increase over time:
“We highly value suppliers who continuously improve their sustainability and transparency. It is not the sole basis for collaboration, but it is a criterion that becomes more important year after year.”
This perspective reinforces why we view our EcoVadis progress not as a standalone result, but as part of creating predictable, transparent and future-ready partnerships.
Looking ahead
Our three-point improvement confirms the direction we are taking , one centered on responsible sourcing, strong governance and reliable information. These elements have always been part of our way of working, and we will continue to develop them as expectations in the industry evolve.
Our commitment remains steady and clear:
to be a dependable, knowledgeable and responsible partner who supports your work with consistency and clarity.
