Milliken & Co. Gets Recognition for Sustainable Practices
Milliken & Co., Spartanburg, SC, recently received a gold rating on its 2022 EcoVadis assessment. EcoVadis is a trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, providing detailed insight into environmental, social and ethical considerations across 200-plus purchasing categories and more than 160 countries. Milliken’s score places it in the top 7% of more than 90,000 organizations rated by EcoVadis.
“Milliken relies on our core values, including sustainability and integrity, to drive our purpose and growth,” said Halsey Cook, president and CEO of Milliken & Co. “The EcoVadis assessment benchmarks our work and guides our improvements to help us build a healthy future.
EcoVadis reviews sustainability policies, actions and results in four main themes — environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement — using a methodology built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO 26000. Milliken’s performance is measured at the enterprise level, meaning the score and subsequent gold rating reflects the company’s efforts across its complete textile, chemical, floor covering and healthcare businesses.
“Comprehensive third-party reviews like the EcoVadis assessment help us understand how we are doing, what refinements we can make and ultimately inspire us to achieve new heights in our sustainability journey,” said Kasel Knight, general counsel and head of sustainability at Milliken.
