Euromed secures platinum ESG recognition for botanical extract sustainability
Spanish botanical extract producer Euromed has been reaccredited with the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Medal, placing the company amongst the top 1% of over 100,000 organisations assessed globally for environmental, social and governance performance across key sustainability metrics.
The Mollet del Vallès-based company’s achievement represents a significant milestone in the botanical ingredients sector, where sustainability credentials increasingly influence procurement decisions across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic industries.
Elite sustainability ranking reinforces industry leadership
EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, evaluates companies across four critical categories: Environment, Ethics, Labour & Human Rights, and Sustainable Procurement. The Platinum Medal recognition places Euromed within an exclusive group of organisations demonstrating comprehensive sustainability management systems and exceptional performance across all assessment criteria.
The reaccreditation validates Euromed’s systematic approach to environmental stewardship and ethical business practices within the competitive botanical extracts market, where traceability and responsible sourcing present ongoing challenges for manufacturers processing over 5,000 tonnes of biomass annually.
Beyond net-zero strategy drives performance excellence
Euromed’s sustainability framework centres on its Beyond Net-Zero strategy, which extends environmental commitments beyond carbon neutrality to encompass positive ecological impact. This approach proves particularly relevant for botanical extract production, where raw material sourcing directly impacts biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Edgar Rojas, Chief Financial Officer at Euromed, emphasised the company’s commitment: “At Euromed, sustainability is a core value that guides every aspect of our operations and strategy. As producers of natural botanical extracts, we understand the importance of protecting the ecosystems on which we depend. Through our Beyond Net-Zero strategy, we continue working towards a long-term positive impact for our planet, our people and future generations.”
Manufacturing capabilities support sustainable extraction
The Spanish company operates two manufacturing facilities in Mollet del Vallès (Barcelona) and Molina de Segura (Murcia), with the Murcia plant featuring eco-friendly technologies including the proprietary Pure-Hydro Process®. This sophisticated water-based extraction method exemplifies the company’s commitment to environmentally conscious production techniques.
All Euromed extracts comply with worldwide Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) norms, international pharmacopoeias and regulatory standards, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality whilst maintaining sustainable production protocols.
Market positioning strengthens amid growing demand
The recognition arrives as global nutraceutical markets increasingly demand pharmaceutical-grade, evidence-based botanical solutions. Euromed’s vertical integration strategy, combining research and development expertise with advanced extraction technologies, positions the company to capitalise on growing consumer preference for scientifically validated natural health products.
Founded in 1971 by German pharmaceutical company MADAUS, Euromed has developed extensive expertise in standardised botanical extract production, serving pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic industries with plant-based health solutions.
Rojas concluded: “Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum Medal again is a powerful acknowledgment of our approach and reflects the collective effort of our team, customers, suppliers and local stakeholders.”
The sustainability recognition strengthens Euromed’s competitive position within the botanical ingredients sector, where environmental credentials increasingly influence customer selection criteria and regulatory compliance requirements.
