Jun 24, 2025

LOUDON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Primient Covation, a global leader in bio-based, high-performance ingredients, has earned top-tier sustainability recognition that underscores its role in driving the global shift from fossil-based to renewable materials.

The company has also been named an official member of the Renewable Carbon Initiative, a coalition of leading companies accelerating the transition from fossil to renewable carbon sources for organic chemicals and materials.

The company has received a “B” score from CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), the highest in its category, which recognizes how well a company manages and reduces its environmental impact. This achievement reflects Primient Covation’s commitment to delivering renewably sourced, naturally derived solutions that meet growing global demand for de-fossilization and supply chain resilience.

“This CDP certification reflects not only our progress but our unwavering commitment to lead the industry in sustainability. Our team is focused on creating lasting, measurable impact, not just promises,” said John Hurban, Global VP of Sales and Marketing of Primient Covation. “As members of the Renewable Carbon Initiative, we are united with industry leaders to pioneer the urgent transition to renewable carbon, aiming for a fossil-free future by 2050.”

Primient Covation has a wide range of sustainability practices, but the core of these efforts are its flagship products, Susterra® and Zemea®. These ingredients are more than bio-based alternatives. They offer customers reliable, traceable, and lower-carbon solutions that help reduce fossil fuel dependency across diverse industries. Both are manufactured using renewably sourced, American-grown industrial dent corn, backed by traceable supply chains and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional petroleum-based alternatives.

Looking ahead, Primient Covation is continuing to invest in sustainable practices while expanding its portfolio of climate-conscious ingredients for the next generation of responsible brands.
