HOUSTON — March 7, 2024 — Orion S.A., a global specialty chemicals company, announced today it has maintained a Gold medal rating from EcoVadis and ranks among the top 2 percent of the companies assessed by the organization in a wide range of sustainability areas.

Orion improved its score from the previous year, moving up from 77 to 78 percent by making significant gains in the areas of sustainable procurement and ethics, according to EcoVadis, one of the world’s largest providers of business sustainability ratings.

“The annual progress Orion is making in the EcoVadis assessments is just another example of how committed we are to being a trusted partner for all our stakeholders and becoming an even more sustainable company,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said.
