ESG Ratings

To honor our ESG commitments, since 2012 KRONOS partners with EcoVadis, an independent service providing sustainability ratings with a strong focus on broad ESG performance in the global supply chain. We use our EcoVadis rating to memorialize our efforts and benchmark our progress in ESG topic areas most relevant to our customers, industry, and supply chain. KRONOS participates in annual Together for Sustainability (TfS), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessments administered and scored by EcoVadis. We have hold an IntegrityNext rating.

We now partner directly with several of our largest customers through the EcoVadis online platform. To address risks in the supply chain KRONOS recently engaged EcoVadis to expand our existing partnership to include evaluations of our own suppliers’ sustainability performance.
