Other notable achievements include Birla’s Platinum EcoVadis rating, which was granted for sustainable business practices, as well as being the only carbon black multinational to be given an IATF certification across all of its manufacturing facilities. A focus was also placed on the company’s ambition to be net zero by 2050.

“At Birla Carbon, sustainability and innovation are integral pillars that define success,” said John Loudermilk, chief executive officer, Birla Carbon. “We leverage every aspect to ensure the future of our business, customers, communities and the world is sustainable. This has been recently reflected in our Platinum rating by EcoVadis for sustainable business practices.”

We have made efforts and taken bold steps to cement our position in the market as a preferred sustainable partner for our customers. This, for us, is our real achievement.”
