Kensing, the global leader in plant-based vitamin E and phytosterols and a North American leader in surfactants, is pleased to announce it has been awarded an A- rating from global environmental non-profit CDP for its 2024 Climate Change disclosure, along with a B rating for its more recent water and forest disclosures. These results underscore Kensing’s strong commitment and transparency in tackling climate, water, as well as forest-related risks and opportunities.
Climate Action & Emissions Reduction
Kensing A- score for climate change reflects its robust efforts to minimize carbon emissions, source renewable electricity, and utilize lower-carbon plant-based ingredients derived from waste residues or upcycled materials. In 2023, the company reduced operational carbon emissions by 27% compared to 2022 levels, driven by operational efficiencies and renewable energy projects – including on-site solar installations at its Spanish facilities. These achievements mark solid progress toward Kensing’s approved science-based target of reducing absolute scope 1 & 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 (vs. 2022 levels).
Forest Stewardship
Participating in CDP’s Forest disclosure, Kensing attained a B rating, highlighting its commitment to sustainable sourcing. The company’s 2024 Palm Sustainability Report details the goal to eliminate deforestation and land conversion from its palm oil derivative supply chain by 2025. Kensing also scored an A in the 2024 Sustainable Palm Index (SPI) assessment, recognizing its progress in palm traceability and responsible sourcing practices.
EcoVadis Gold Rating
In addition to its strong CDP performance, Kensing retained its EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing it among the top 3% of all companies assessed – despite more rigorous evaluation criteria introduced in 2024. The Gold Medal reflects Kensing’s consistent performance across key pillars: environment, labor and human rights, business ethics, sustainable procurement, and carbon management.
“We are honored to receive these top ratings from both CDP and EcoVadis – particularly in a year with more stringent reporting requirements,” says Serge Rogasik, CEO of Kensing. “We’re proud to be among the few private market companies that publicly disclose detailed environmental and sustainability information. Our entire team is deeply committed to embedding sustainability and transparency across our business, and these recognitions validate our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental footprint in partnership with customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.”
