Decarbonization journey

We play a significant role in the global challenge of working towards a low-carbon and sustainablegrowth economy. The necessary transition to a more sustainable way of producing and using energy is a key part of our initiative.

Measuring our progress

To better understand our progress and identify opportunities for improvement, Lhoist undergoes a performance assessment through EcoVadis, a globally recognized organization that provides independent sustainability ratings and insights.

EcoVadis evaluates companies on a broad range of management systems, including environmental practices, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Each company receives a score between 0 and 100 and a medal, bronze, silver, gold, or platinum, based on its performance.

Our latest assessments resulted in 1 Gold medals (Spain), 8 Silver medals (Czechia, Portugal, Malaysia, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, UK, Denmark), and 4 Bronze medal (Belgium, France, Brazil, USA). 

These results reflect the efforts of our teams across regions and highlight the progress we are making on our sustainability journey. They encourage us to keep improving and to strengthen our approach through innovation and collaboration.
