ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Diamond Packaging announced today it has been awarded a Platinum rating for the third time by EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability assessments. The award is the highest recognition given by EcoVadis and places Diamond in the top 1% of all companies evaluated worldwide.
"We're deeply honored by this recognition, which validates our commitment to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into every facet of our operations," said Dennis Bacchetta, marketing director and founding Green Team member at Diamond. "We remain dedicated to collaborating with our supply chain partners to develop and deploy packaging solutions that are both groundbreaking and environmentally responsible."
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. More than 130,000 companies globally have been rated by EcoVadis.
EcoVadis' business sustainability ratings are based on international sustainability standards such as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and the ISO 26000 standard. The ratings provide an evidenced-based analysis on performance and an actionable roadmap for continuous improvement.
Diamond ranked in the top 1% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis in the category "Manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard and of containers of paper and paperboard". Diamond ranked highest in the Environment category, which comprises both operational factors (e.g., energy consumption, waste management) and product stewardship (e.g., product use, customer health and safety).
Diamond also received a Leader rating on EcoVadis' Carbon Scorecard. The company was recognized for its best in class GHG management system and strong decarbonization ambition with approved science-based targets.
Diamond reported on its industry-leading greenbox sustainability initiative to research, design, and implement packaging solutions that are innovative and more sustainable. The core of the initiative – designs, materials, and methods – represents a comprehensive approach to packaging that minimizes environmental impact throughout the supply chain. Through creative design, careful material selection, and best practices at the plant level, Diamond can minimize waste, reduce energy use and emissions, and increase efficiencies – all of which support a sustainable use of resources and cultivate a positive emotional connection to the brand.
Today, Diamond's packaging is designed utilizing recyclable paperboard and manufactured using 100% clean, renewable wind energy, in a Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) and Carbon Neutral (Scope 1 and Scope 2) facility.
