ADVANCION RECOGNIZED WITH 2026 ECOVADIS GOLD MEDAL FOR SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advancion Corporation ("Advancion" or "Company"), a global leader in specialty ingredients serving the life sciences, home and personal care, and broader consumer and industrial markets, announced today it was awarded a 2026 EcoVadis Gold Medal for its sustainability performance. The recognition reflects Advancion's continued commitment to responsible business practices, environmental stewardship and continuous improvement across its global operations.

Advancion achieved an overall score of 84 out of 100, compared with 81 out of 100 in 2025. The Company's performance reflects its ongoing efforts across the four categories evaluated by EcoVadis: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. This year marks Advancion's sixth consecutive—and eighth overall—Gold Medal recognition since the Company began participating in the independent EcoVadis assessment in 2017.

"Meaningful sustainability progress requires more than setting ambitious goals. It requires integrating responsible practices into everyday decisions and delivering measurable results," said Katie Davis, Global Environmental Sustainability Program Manager at Advancion. "This recognition reflects the dedication of our global teams to continuously improving how we operate, reducing our environmental impact and supporting the sustainability objectives of our customers and other stakeholders."

Advancion's sustainability initiatives include improving energy and resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste, strengthening supplier engagement, and advancing innovative ingredients that help customers address evolving environmental and regulatory requirements.

EcoVadis is a global sustainability ratings platform that evaluates companies' environmental, social and ethical performance across international supply chains. Its assessment methodology provides a framework for measuring performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and promoting transparency.

"EcoVadis provides an important independent benchmark for evaluating our progress and identifying where we can continue to improve," said Tina Murray, Senior Vice President, Regulatory, Product Stewardship, and Quality. "Our improved score demonstrates the progress we are making as we embed sustainability more deeply into how we operate, innovate and engage with our customers, suppliers and employees."

Advancion invites its commercial partners to request direct access to its 2026 EcoVadis assessment as part of their supplier evaluation process.
