Hexigone Inhibitors has been awarded the prestigious Gold Sustainability Rating from Ecovadis. This result places the company among the top 5 percent of companies assessed by the organisation globally.

To achieve the Gold Rating, Hexigone had to undergo an in-depth evaluation from EcoVadis who assess the quality of the sustainability management system through evidence as well as controversy screening. Each company is independently assessed based on environment, ethics, sustainable procurement and labour and human rights.

“We are pleased that Hexigone was awarded the gold sustainability rating from EcoVadis at first entry and evaluation, as sustainability is at the core of Hexigone’s product offer,” Marc Phillips, operations manager at Hexigone, said. We have robust policies and procedures in place and will also be utilizing our scorecard to improve business processes further. Our goal is to reach the platinum rating next year.”

Hexigone’s corrosion inhibitors were brought to market to replace heavy metals, phosphates, and toxic chromates with highly effective, environmentally-favourable inhibitors. Forty percent of all new steel created is used to replaced steel damaged or destroyed by corrosion. The protection offered by Hexigone’s Intelli-ion technology increases the product lifecycle of metal assets – reducing the drain on primary resources.

The company has patents for their technology across the globe and has recently joined the Made In Britain network – a recognized mark of high-quality manufacturing and products from the UK. Additionally, they have been awarded the Sustainable Innovation Award 2022 from the British Coatings Federation.
