MUMBAI, India/MARIETTA, GA — Birla Carbon has been awarded a Gold level rating for the fifth consecutive year by EcoVadis, an independent sustainability rating agency. This recognition places Birla Carbon in the top 3% of companies in its sector. The rating was provided after reviewing Birla Carbon’s sustainability practices in its recently published eighth sustainability report, Bending Towards Circularity.

Commenting on the achievement, Joe Gaynor, Chief Legal, Sustainability and Risk Officer, Birla Carbon, said, “At Birla Carbon, sustainability is more than a commitment — it is central to who we are and how we operate. We are both proud and humbled to receive this award in a year when we, like most of the world during this global pandemic, have remained laser-focused on ensuring a safe workplace for our employees and uninterrupted supply and services to our customers.” Gaynor added, “Five consecutive Gold ratings is a noteworthy achievement, but it would not be possible without the consistent and devoted efforts by all of our employees. I would like to thank our employees for their continuous commitment to our Purpose to ‘Share the Strength,’ for it is through that collaboration that we are able to remain a good neighbor in our communities, a reliable supplier to our customers and a safe home for our employees. We at Birla Carbon are committed to constant improvement in order to remain an industry leader in sustainability, and we are making plans to have an even greater impact in the years to come.”
