Alkagesta Awarded EcoVadis Committed Badge for Sustainability Performance

Malta, September 2026. Alkagesta has been awarded the EcoVadis Committed Badge, recognising the company's commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices across its global trading operations.

EcoVadis is one of the world's most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings, assessing companies across four pillars: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The assessment is evidence-based, evaluating the policies, reporting, and transparency of companies against internationally recognised sustainability standards. Achieving the Committed Badge reflects Alkagesta's performance across these criteria and provides a framework for continued improvement.

The recognition sits alongside Alkagesta's broader ESG commitments, which include ISCC and CORSIA certification for sustainable aviation fuel trading, access to EU ETS allowances, and ongoing investment in environmental research initiatives such as the Clean Caspian startup.

Orkhan Rustamov, CEO of Alkagesta, commented: "Receiving the EcoVadis Committed Badge reflects the work being done across Alkagesta to embed responsible business practices into how we operate — not as a separate agenda, but as part of how we run the business day to day. As a company trading commodities that sit at the heart of the global economy, we take seriously our responsibility to operate with integrity and transparency. We see this as a foundation to build on, and we will continue to raise our standards across the areas EcoVadis measures."

The badge adds to a year of milestones for the Malta-headquartered trading house, which reported record first-half 2026 revenue and has expanded its biofuels trading desk, storage capacity and trade finance capabilities across Europe and Asia. The company's sustainability framework is detailed on its ESG page, and its governance approach is set out under Leadership & Governance.

For dry bulk and marine fuels markets, the rating matters because charterers, banks and counterparties increasingly screen trading partners on sustainability criteria before extending credit, tonnage or offtake terms. An evidence-based rating such as EcoVadis gives those counterparties a standardised reference point when assessing Alkagesta's compliance and risk management practices.
