EcoVadis is among the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. Its assessments evaluate companies across four key areas: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The company’s 2026 score represents an improvement over its 2025 result of 76/100.
Highlights from its 2026 assessment include a score increase from 71 to 83 in Sustainable Procurement and an increase from 74 to 83 in Ethics.
In addition to its strong CSR rating, Flint Group achieved a Leader level rating in the 2026 Carbon Scorecard and is described by EcoVadis as “a company with a strong Greenhouse Gas (GHG) management system and best-in-class decarbonisation commitments, actions and reporting capabilities.”
Heiner Klokkers, CEO and president, packaging inks Europe at Flint Group, said: "Retaining Gold for a second year, with an improved overall score, reflects genuine progress across our sustainability programme. The gains in Sustainable Procurement and Ethics are particularly significant, since both require a consistent, cross-functional effort.”
He concluded: “Results like this don’t happen in isolation. They are the product of dedicated work across the business, with every single person playing their part. We are understandably proud of this result and remain focused on continuous improvement."
