Gold standard: Flint Group honoured for sustainability progress

EcoVadis Gold rating

FLINT Group, a producer of inks and coatings for the print and packaging industries, has secured a Gold Rating from sustainability rating specialist EcoVadis.

This rating, an upgrade from the Silver status Flint Group has held since 2022, places the company among the top 5% of EcoVadis-rated companies in the printing ink manufacturing sector.

EcoVadis commended Flint Group for its greenhouse gas management systems and decarbonisation goals, which are aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Since its previous assessment, Flint Group has made strides across several areas, notably increasing its score in the Environment category from 70 to 79 points. The company also improved its score in Labour and Human Rights, rising from 70 to 76 points.

Pepyn Dinandt, CEO of Flint Group, said, “This milestone represents a significant step forward in Flint Group’s sustainability journey, solidifying our position as an industry leader dedicated to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Achieving the Gold Rating from EcoVadis not only validates our structured approach to sustainability but also reinforces our commitment to delivering measurable, positive outcomes for both our customers and the communities we serve.”
