Into the Global Top 5%: Shanghai Ailu’s EcoVadis Rating Rises to Gold

In June 2026, in the latest assessment by EcoVadis, the internationally authoritative corporate sustainability rating agency, Shanghai Ailu earned the Gold Medal with a score of 82, placing it among the top 5% of all companies assessed worldwide.

Following the Silver Medal obtained in the previous rating cycle, this upgrade marks that the company’s overall performance in environmental protection, labor & human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement has reached an internationally advanced level.

EcoVadis ratings have become a key reference for Fortune 500 companies and international brands in managing their supply chains. Over the years, Shanghai Ailu has continuously deepened its ESG management practices, with results recognized by authoritative institutions at home and abroad.

A Second Benchmark: Wind ESG AA, No. 1 in Containers & Packaging

Beyond the EcoVadis Gold, the company has consistently maintained an AA rating in Wind ESG, ranking first in the containers & packaging industry — evidence of steady, competitive sustainability performance.

From Silver to Gold: What Changed

The leap from Silver to Gold stems from the rising quality of the company’s corporate social responsibility management:

• Certified management systems at 100% coverage — operating sites fully certified to ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 50001 (energy management), and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety);
• Global commitments — member of the UN Global Compact (UNGC); near-term emission-reduction target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi);
• Energy transition in numbers — 2025 environmental-protection investment of RMB 11.9153 million; rooftop photovoltaics, a higher green-power share and digitalized energy management lifted green electricity from 10.97% to 21.43% of total consumption;
• Responsible sourcing & product carbon management — 78.16% eco-friendly raw-material procurement; carbon-footprint accounting completed for 81 SKUs;
• Governance & people — stronger employee-rights and business-governance mechanisms and improved transparency, turning ESG requirements into measurable actions.

Leadership Perspective

“Winning the EcoVadis Gold is a hard-core endorsement of our alignment with high-standard global supply-chain systems — and a ‘green passport’ into the international sustainable-industry landscape. Building on the global momentum toward high-efficiency, high-resilience, and sustainable energy, the company anchors itself in international markets through compliance strength, works hand in hand with global customers and partners, and leads the race in sustainable packaging worldwide.”
