HCS Group, a leading international supplier of solutions for high-value hydrocarbon specialties, is pleased to announce that it has retained its Gold status with EcoVadis, the Corporate Social Responsibility agency, for the third consecutive year.
“Receiving the EcoVadis Gold award means a lot to us,” explains Henrik Krüpper, Chief Executive Officer of HCS Group, and adds: “Sustainability is not only firmly anchored in our corporate strategy, but is actively lived. With the support of our Sustainability team, our business units and operations teams are continuously looking for new potentials, projects and opportunities to further reduce CO2 emissions, manufacture more sustainably and expand our renewable products and solutions portfolio. The independent EcoVadis award recognises our endeavours and confirms to our customers and partners that they have a responsible and trustworthy supplier at their side.”
Substantial investments in sustainability
In recent years, HCS Group has invested substantially in sustainability forming a dedicated Sustainability expert team, expanding technical services and development resources driving growth of its sustainable portfolio.

The company has changed to certified renewable power and achieved ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS certification (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification).
