i2r awarded EcoVadis Gold Medal for sustainability performance

Leading aluminium tray producer, i2r Packaging Solutions, has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal, recognising the company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices across its operations.

The globally recognised EcoVadis assessment evaluates organisations across four key areas – environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

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

Benito Sala, managing director 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.’

As a leading supplier of aluminium food packaging, i2r continues to invest in initiatives focused on recyclability, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and supply chain responsibility, helping customers meet increasing sustainability expectations across the food manufacturing and foodservice sectors.

EcoVadis Certification is part of a wider sustainability journey, with further developments planned to support both operational improvements and customer focused innovation in sustainable packaging.
