ALUMINIUM tray producer i2r Packaging Solutions has been awarded the EcoVadis gold medal in recognition of the firm’s commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices.

The assessment evaluates organisations across four key areas:  Environment; Labour & Human Rights; Ethics; and Sustainable Procurement. The programme is used to benchmark sustainability performance and support continuous improvement across supply chains.

The gold medal places i2r among the top-performing companies assessed globally by EcoVadis and reflects the company’s focus on sustainable manufacturing, operational transparency, responsible sourcing, and environmental stewardship as it supports customers with recyclable aluminium packaging solutions for the food industry.

Benito Sala, MD at i2r, said, “Achieving an EcoVadis gold medal is an important milestone for i2r and reflects the commitment of our teams across the business to continuous improvement and responsible operations. Sustainability is embedded into our long-term strategy, from how we manufacture and source materials through to the innovative packaging solutions we provide our customers.

“As expectations around environmental responsibility continue to grow across the food sector, we remain focused on supporting our customers with products and practices that contribute towards a more sustainable future.”

i2r revealed it continues to invest in initiatives focused on recyclability, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and supply chain responsibility.
