Algenesis Achieves Gold Status in EcoVadis Rankings, Solidifying Its Sustainability Leadership

Algenesis Corporation's Remarkable Leap to Gold in EcoVadis Ratings

Algenesis Corporation, based in San Diego, is proud to announce a significant achievement in sustainability—its recent elevation from a Silver to a Gold Medal in EcoVadis's sustainability rankings. With a noteworthy score of 82 out of 100, Algenesis now finds itself in the 96th percentile of all companies assessed by EcoVadis, a reputable supplier sustainability ratings organization. This marks a substantial increase of 10 points from the previous year's rating.

EcoVadis is known for its rigorous rating system, evaluating over 175,000 companies across more than 180 countries on a 0 to 100 scale, based on criteria that include Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Algenesis excelled in two of these categories, scoring 94 in Ethics and 89 in Environment, showcasing its commitment to eliminating microplastics from the ecosystem.

Nick Sandland, Chief Business Officer at Algenesis, emphasized the importance of this recognition, stating, “Our transition from Silver to Gold signifies that our sustainability efforts are not merely for show. This is ingrained in how we operate our business.” He further added that the evaluation from EcoVadis reflects their internal practices alongside their product offerings, reinforcing their dedication to sustainable practices.

The achievement of the Gold Medal comes at a time when global brands are intensifying their scrutiny of supply chain partners under Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. For companies in footwear, apparel, consumer goods, and industrial sectors, receiving this certification provides an independent endorsement of Algenesis's compliance with international sustainability standards.

In addition to the Gold Medal, Algenesis has garnered accolades such as the 2026 ACS Green Chemistry Challenge Award and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification, which underscores its advancements in sustainable manufacturing processes. The USDA BioPreferred certification of its Soleic® line further cements the company’s position as a leader in developing bio-based, fully biodegradable polyurethanes.

For Algenesis, this recognition is a meaningful milestone that aligns with its mission to combat the ongoing crisis posed by microplastics. As the company continues to advocate for environmental health and sustainability, it aims to lead the charge toward a future free from plastic pollution.
