Sofidel has achieved the highest “A” rating in the 2025 Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) conducted by CDP, once again securing a place on the prestigious SEA Leaderboard, which recognizes companies for the effectiveness of their supply chain decarbonization strategies.
CDP is a global non-profit organization that supports companies in measuring and disclosing environmental performance. Each year, it evaluates corporate action across five key areas: risk management processes; governance and business strategy, including the presence of a climate transition plan; supplier engagement on environmental issues; Scope 3 emissions reporting and verification; and emissions reduction targets.
In 2025, more than 22,100 companies worldwide were assessed.
“We are proud to once again be included in CDP’s SEA Leaderboard. This achievement confirms that, together with our partners, we are moving in the right direction towards the future, and it is even more meaningful in the year in which we celebrate our 60th anniversary,” said Riccardo Balducci, Sustainability Director of the Sofidel Group.
Supplier engagement is a central pillar of Sofidel’s sustainability strategy and is considered essential to achieving its Net-Zero target by 2050 across the entire value chain. The commitment is part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Science Based Targets initiative, aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
