Croda wins World Sustainability Award for ‘Business of the Year’
We are delighted to share that we have been awarded the World Sustainability Award for ‘Business of the Year’.
The World Sustainability Awards is a global platform celebrating excellence in corporate and social sustainability. The awards are organised by Sustainability Leaders, a global network for CSOs and ESG executives designed to accelerate sustainability initiatives, from significantly reducing carbon emissions to embedding diversity and inclusion into an organisation’s culture.
There were 12 awards categories aiming to commend all possible functions of business. 73 companies were shortlisted in the 12 categories, including awards for Sustainable Technology (awarded to Siemens Gamesa), Circular Economy (awarded to sugoº), Diversity & Inclusion (awarded to Walgreens), and many others.
We are extremely proud of this achievement which is a testament to our notable ambition to become the most sustainable supplier of innovative ingredients and is a collective effort of all Croda employees, working towards becoming Climate, Land and People Positive by 2030.
