Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) has been ranked first globally with a green card in ChemScore 2025, the internationally recognized benchmark developed by ChemSec, assessing the environmental performance and chemical management of the world’s 40 largest chemical companies.
The company reported it has consistently found itself in the top three ChemScore companies and scored twice as high on average as the Asia-based companies taken together. The achievement reaffirms Indorama Ventures’ commitment to balancing business resilience with environmental and social responsibility.
ChemScore1 is widely used by global investors, regulatory bodies, and multinational brand owners to evaluate companies across four key pillars: responsible chemical management, development of safer and more sustainable alternatives, transparency and disclosure, and long-term stewardship across the value chain. The ranking was developed by ChemSec, an independent non-profit organization that advocates for substitution of toxic chemicals to safer alternatives. In the 2025 assessment, Indorama Ventures earned 57 out of 100 points and received a green card, including 12/25 in Transparency, 23/25 in Phase-out of Persistent Chemicals,13/25 in Product Portfolio and 9/25 in Safer Solutions.
Indorama Ventures is recognized by ChemSec for applying the Substitute It Now (SIN) List to systematically eliminate hazardous substances, accelerate safer alternatives, and expand bio-based and hazard-free recycled feedstocks. This approach places the company ahead of tightening global regulatory requirements, including emerging EU and U.S. restrictions on persistent chemicals, and aligns with rising demand for safer, traceable materials across consumer goods, automotive, health and hygiene, and industrial sectors.
“Indorama Ventures is honored to be recognized as the top global performer, ranking first in ChemScore 2025. This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams globally, who work every day to strengthen our health and safety, minimize our chemical footprint, and raise the bar in chemicals management,” said Yash Lohia, executive president of Petchem and Chairman of the ESG Council at Indorama Ventures. “We are also grateful for the continued guidance and engagement we receive from ChemSec and the IIHC, which helps drive stronger industry standards and continuous improvement. This recognition reinforces our commitment to balancing business resilience with environmental and social responsibility — and to delivering safer, greener, and more circular solutions for our customers and communities.”
“ChemSec congratulates Indorama Ventures on securing the leading position in this year’s ChemScore ranking. Since the very first ChemScore evaluation, Indorama Ventures has consistently distinguished itself through its strong commitment to conducting business largely without hazardous substances,” said Sonja Haider, head of Sustainable Finance from ChemSec. “Its progressive approach and transparent information sharing set a benchmark for the industry. We hope this achievement will incentivize others to follow suit and accelerate the transition toward safer chemistry and a more sustainable future.”
With ChemScore increasingly used by ESG-focused investors to evaluate long-term chemical safety risks and governance standards, Indorama Ventures’ top ranking enhances its investment appeal and reinforces confidence in its risk management practices. The ranking underscores Indorama Ventures’ role in shaping the next era of sustainable chemistry — one defined by safer substances, circular design, heightened transparency, and low-carbon innovation. For brand owners and consumers, this translates into safer packaging, cleaner materials, and stronger environmental assurance across everyday products.
