Evonik Improves Sustainability Rating from Morningstar Sustainalytics
Evonik has further improved its rating in the latest assessment by rating agency Morningstar Sustainalytics. The ESG risk rating considers material risks in the areas of environment, social and governance of a company. Morningstar Sustainalytics attests Evonik strong management of these issues, resulting in a rating of "low risk" only. This puts Evonik among the top ten best rated specialty chemicals companies and into the top five percent of around 600 chemical companies worldwide.
“The assessment by Morningstar Sustainalytics recognizes the consistent implementation of our new sustainability strategy. This is an incentive for us to continue setting ambitious sustainability goals in the future and to work hard to achieve them,” said Thomas Wessel, the member of Evonik's Executive Board responsible for sustainability.
