Historical award notice: This article was originally published in November 2021 and relates to Ingredient Solutions’ EcoVadis assessment and Platinum Medal awarded in 2021. It does not represent the company’s current EcoVadis rating.
Ingredient Solutions Ltd has always been a forward thinking company. The business was founded in 2000 at the very start of the millennium with “innovation” at the heart of the mission statement. Despite these most turbulent times Ingredient Solutions continues winning and maintaining contracts with some of the UK and Europe’s leading names in food service and production. Also now they export cheese to the food industry all over the world including the Middle East and China, even sending cheese regularly to the Bahamas.
In 2021, Ingredient Solutions received an EcoVadis Platinum Medal following an assessment of the company’s environmental, labour and human-rights, ethics and sustainable-procurement practices.
The assessment related to the information, business activities and EcoVadis methodology applicable at that time. The award should be understood as a historical assessment result rather than a current environmental claim about every Ingredient Solutions product.
Ingredient Solutions began working with EcoVadis in 2020 to assess and benchmark defined areas of its business practices. Following its 2021 assessment, the company received a Platinum Medal and was placed within the top 1% of organisations assessed under the EcoVadis methodology applicable at that time.
Managing Director, Ian Galletly said,
“Speaking at the time of the 2021 award, Managing Director Ian Galletly recognised the work of the cross-departmental team involved in the assessment and described the Platinum Medal as an important achievement for the company.”
The 2021 EcoVadis assessment considered a range of business-management areas, including environmental practices, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The assessment and resulting medal reflected the evidence submitted and the EcoVadis scoring methodology in place at that time.
The 2021 Platinum Medal recognised the company’s assessment result under the EcoVadis methodology applicable during that assessment period. A great deal of credit for the achievement lies with two key members of staff – Technical Manager, Suma Lakshmana, and Production Manager, Margarete Morski, who were the driving force of this initiative.
Suma Lakshmana said, “I want to acknowledge and congratulate everyone who has contributed to this success. We can grow and improve even further on what has already been achieved with continued support and team work.”
