Envu releases second annual sustainability report

Envu, a global environmental science company, has published its second annual Sustainability Report, detailing progress across fiscal year 2024. The report offers a transparent look at how Envu is turning ambition into action through science-based solutions, nature-positive innovation and long-term partnerships. 

The release of the report marks another milestone in the company’s journey to advance healthy environments for everyone everywhere. In 2024, Envu deepened this commitment by becoming an official signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and submitting its first Communication on Progress, affirming alignment with the UNGC’s Ten Principles related to human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. 

“At Envu, we aim to ‘Be a Force With Nature,’ working in alignment with natural systems to solve challenges that matter to both people and the planet,” CEO Gilles Galliou said in a news release. “Whether through innovation, stewardship or working together across the value chain, we’re focused on building lasting impact. This report reflects how far we’ve come in just a few short years and how we’re helping shape a more sustainable, collaborative and science-driven future in the years ahead.” 

Key highlights

The report outlines how Envu is advancing its Decarbonization Pathway, which includes emissions reductions across operations, expanded engagement with suppliers on Scope 3 targets and third-party validation of decarbonization goals by the Science Based Targets initiative. Together, these efforts reflect a growing focus on reducing impact across the entire value chain. In addition, the company:

• Protected 7.9 million households from mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue through targeted vector control treatments  
  
• Restored 103,000 hectares of degraded land and expanded product registrations to support biodiversity and invasive species control  
  
• Reduced operational emissions through decarbonization levers, including fleet electrification (with more than 50 vehicles transitioned in Germany and France) and emerging reverse logistics initiatives in Brazil, which eliminated 194 tons of packaging waste 
  
• Earned the EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing Envu among the Top 5 percent of companies evaluated globally for sustainability performance  
  
• Earned “Great Place To Work” Certifications in the U.S., France and India, recently renewed for the second year, reflecting a strong culture of teamwork, belonging and employee engagement 

The report also features real-world case studies that bring Envu sustainability efforts to life — from helping prevent the spread of emerging monkey malaria in Malaysia, to contributing to the long-term sustainability of urban green spaces with the introduction of our first biostimulant for turfgrass in Europe, to protecting 70 million metric tons of grain from post-harvest loss through targeted Envu insecticide solutions. These examples reflect how our science and partnerships are making a difference where it matters most: in the field, in communities and across ecosystems. 

In addition, the report highlights new peer-reviewed research published in 2024 in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey, which found that removing invasive annual grasses from degraded rangelands can help protect soil carbon stocks. These findings underscore the multiple benefits of targeted vegetation management — from restoring biodiversity and mitigating wildfire risk to advancing climate resilience. 

“We’re extremely proud to report on the steps we’ve taken and remain committed to the work ahead,” said Envu Chief Sustainability Officer Marine Sanouiller said in the news release. “At Envu, sustainability isn’t a separate initiative. It drives our strategy, inspires innovation and strengthens the trust our customers place in us.”
