PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., a Korean polyimide (PI) manufacturer with the largest global market share and an Arkema affiliate, announced that it has received a Silver rating from EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability assessments.
Robust ESG Capabilities
Headquartered in France, EcoVadis evaluates over 150,000 companies across 250+ industries in 185 countries. Its ESG assessment covers four core pillars— ▲ Environment, ▲ Labor & Human Rights, ▲ Ethics, and ▲ Sustainable Procurement—with companies ranked into four tiers: Platinum (top 1%), Gold (top 5%), Silver (top 15%), and Bronze (top 35%).
PI Advanced Materials’ performance placed the company in the top 7% of all evaluated companies, well above the 15% threshold for Silver and indicative of the company’s robust ESG capabilities. Notably, within the plastics manufacturing sector, the company ranked among the top 3%, underscoring its leadership in sustainable operations within its industry.
This recognition demonstrates that our ESG practices meet internationally respected standards. We will continue strengthening our global ESG efforts to enhance long-term sustainability and stakeholder trust.
The EcoVadis rating is increasingly used by multinational corporations to assess suppliers across the value chain. In markets such as Europe, North America, and Japan, these ratings serve as critical benchmarks in evaluating vendor eligibility, tender participation, and continued business relationships. PI Advanced Materials expects the Silver rating to further bolster its credibility among global customers and reinforce its competitiveness in export-driven markets.
The company is actively advancing a broad-based ESG agenda, including a mid- to long-term decarbonization roadmap, increasing R&D developments to more sustainable materials. These efforts align with Arkema Group’s broader commitment to sustainable innovation and responsible growth. PI Advanced Materials aims to further solidify its role as a global ESG leader by integrating social responsibility into all aspects of its business operations.
