MM Packaging, market leader in secondary packaging for the food and premium sector, has announced its Ibérica facility in Spain has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum placing it among the top 1% of more than 150,000 companies assessed worldwide

The Spanish site excelled in its environmental policy, achieving a score of 94 out of a possible 100 for its commitment to addressing industry-specific sustainability issues. The report highlighted that the facility had made significant progress in reducing its Scope 3 emissions by 53% since 2019, while the company’s newly launched moulded pulp, a fiber-based, plastic-free solution, was a major indicator of its dedication to reducing packaging waste and continued support of wider sustainability initiatives.

Alcarazo Joaquin, MM Packaging Ibérica Managing Director, said in support of the rating: “This achievement places us among the top-rated companies assessed by EcoVadis and reflects our strong commitment to sustainability, responsible business practices, and continuous improvement across key areas such as environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

“This recognition is the result of the dedication and effort, professionalism and daily commitment of our entire team, who continue to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations and decision-making. It is also an important milestone that reinforces our position as a trusted and responsible partner for our customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.”

Its sustainability assessment methodology is based on seven founding principles and is tailored to industry sector, country and company size.

MM Packaging Ibérica was evaluated on its performance across four pillars: environment, labour & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Across three of the four pillars, the company scored 90 or above, demonstrating to its customers across food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics that it operates under robust sustainable procurement and responsible sourcing practices.

Joaquin concluded: "Receiving EcoVadis Platinum is an important milestone in our sustainability journey, but it is not our destination. We will continue to invest, innovate and improve our environmental and social performance while creating long-term value for our customers and society.
