Asahi Kasei's Healthcare Materials Division¹ of its Life Innovation SBU received a Gold Medal Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis² in March 2023. The Gold Medal indicates a sustainability assessment in the top 5% of all companies evaluated.

EcoVadis assesses corporate initiatives and achievements on sustainability in the four categories of the Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Evaluation of the Healthcare Materials Division was particularly high in the Environment and Labor & Human Rights.

EcoVadis performs its assessment based on international standards of sustainability, and over 100,000 companies from more than 175 countries across 200 industries have been assessed. The EcoVadis assessment is increasingly recognized as an objective evaluation of corporate sustainability initiatives and achievements.

As the Asahi Kasei Group continues to advance initiatives for sustainability, this Gold Medal rating serves as an encouragement to further reinforce efforts to achieve a sustainable society.
