Alkagesta, a global commodity trading house headquartered in Malta, received an EcoVadis Committed Badge in September 2026. This recognition from EcoVadis, a provider of business sustainability ratings, indicates the firm's adherence to responsible and sustainable practices throughout its international trading operations, which span oil and refined products, biofuels and fertilisers, supported by in-house trade finance and risk management functions.
EcoVadis evaluates businesses based on four main pillars: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The assessment process is evidence-based, scrutinising company policies, reporting mechanisms, and transparency against globally recognised sustainability standards.
Achieving the Committed Badge reflects Alkagesta's performance across these specified criteria and also establishes a framework for ongoing improvements. The company's broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts include certifications like ISCC and CORSIA for sustainable aviation fuel trading, access to EU ETS allowances, and investments in environmental research initiatives such as the Clean Caspian startup. The group pairs these efforts with a formal compliance framework covering counterparty screening and quality control, alongside shipping and logistics and storage capacity across Europe and Asia.
Orkhan Rustamov, CEO of Alkagesta, stated that the EcoVadis Committed Badge highlights the integration of responsible business practices into the firm's daily operations. He added that as a company engaged in core global economy commodities, they prioritise integrity and transparency, viewing this recognition as a foundation for continued progress in the areas measured by EcoVadis, as reported on the company’s media page.
