CHARLOTTE, NC, May 13, 2025 - Clariant Adsorbents Brazil has been named the recipient of the Strive 35 – Sustainability Award by ADM, a global leader in innovative solutions from nature. Clariant was one of six suppliers honored across distinct categories, recognized for its alignment with ADM’s Corporate Social Responsibility goals and commitment to sustainable operational practices.

Selected from approximately 40,000 global suppliers and 500 strategic partners, Clariant was recognized for delivering high-quality, sustainable performance across environmental, social, and economic criteria—while consistently meeting contractual obligations, KPIs, and delivery targets.

“We firmly believe that strong supplier relationships are foundational for success. True partnerships go beyond transactions—they fuel innovation, enhance efficiency, improve quality, and bolster resilience across our supply chain,” said Wade Wright, ADM Vice President, Global Indirect Procurement. “Today, we take the time to recognize those suppliers who exemplify excellence, collaboration, and a commitment to delivering the highest standards. Their dedication and partnership make a meaningful impact, and we are grateful for the value they bring to our organization.”
