NewAge Industries Achieves Platinum EcoVadis Ranking, Highlighting Commitment to Sustainability

NewAge Industries, Inc., a prominent figure in the fluid transfer systems solutions sector for the biopharma and industrial markets, has recently been honored with a Platinum Medal by EcoVadis. This prestigious recognition places NewAge in the elite top 1% of companies worldwide evaluated for their sustainability practices. The EcoVadis assessment, which scrutinizes 21 sustainability criteria across four pivotal themes—Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement—has seen NewAge significantly enhance its performance across all categories, culminating in this year's platinum status.

The achievement is not just a testament to NewAge's unwavering commitment to sustainability but also marks a notable progression from its previous gold rating. With over 150,000 companies across 185 countries and 250 purchasing categories assessed by EcoVadis, NewAge's platinum ranking is a clear indicator of its leadership and dedication to sustainable development. Mary Marcus, NewAge's Chief Executive Officer, attributes this success to the company's long-standing ethos, rooted in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) established nearly two decades ago by Ken Baker. Marcus emphasizes the collective effort of the team in upholding the company's mission to excel and do good, reinforcing NewAge's position as a sustainability leader in its served markets.

This recognition by EcoVadis is more than a corporate accolade; it signifies the growing importance of sustainability in the global business landscape. For industries reliant on fluid transfer systems, such as biopharma and industrial sectors, NewAge's achievement sets a benchmark for environmental and social responsibility. It also highlights the potential for collaborative efforts between companies, suppliers, and customers to foster sustainable solutions that meet global standards. As businesses worldwide strive to align with sustainable practices, NewAge's platinum rating serves as both an inspiration and a challenge to others in the industry to elevate their sustainability efforts.
