Riteks Earns ACD Sustainability Recognition: Leading the Charge Toward a Cleaner Chemical Future

In a world where chemical manufacturing often faces scrutiny for its environmental impact, Riteks is proud to stand as a leader in sustainable practices—proving that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand.

We are honored to have received official recognition from the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) for our successful completion of Code VI: Sustainability under Responsible Distribution 2023. This achievement, verified through third-party audits, affirms that our practices, policies, and culture are aligned with the highest standards in environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility.

Why Sustainability Matters at Riteks

The chemical manufacturing industry has long played a critical role in driving technological progress, supporting vital industries such as energy, construction, and infrastructure. But with great influence comes great responsibility. At Riteks, we understand that sustainable innovation isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Our motivation is simple: we want to leave the world better than we found it. That means creating smarter, safer solutions without compromising the health of our planet or the people who rely on our products. From the development of environmentally friendly coatings to advanced oilfield additives and precision cementing technologies, we design every product with sustainability and longevity in mind.

Certified Commitment: What Code VI Means

The ACD’s Code VI: Sustainability is not just a checkbox. It represents a deep dive into a company’s operations, evaluating critical sustainability pillars such as:

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

  • Energy and Water Efficiency

  • Recycling, Repackaging, Reselling, and Waste Reduction

Riteks passed this rigorous review with flying colors—thanks to a team that doesn’t just follow procedures but lives by our core values. We’ve implemented real, impactful programs that address everything from waste minimization to responsible water use and community engagement.

The Path Forward

Our dedication doesn’t end with this certification. It’s part of a bigger mission: to help shape the future of chemical manufacturing by proving that high performance and environmental responsibility can coexist.

As we continue to expand our operations—across the U.S. and internationally—we’ll hold ourselves accountable to the highest sustainability standards. Whether it’s through the adoption of greener raw materials, smarter logistics, or new technologies that reduce emissions and waste, we’re committed to continuous improvement.

A Message to Our Partners and Customers

This recognition from the ACD isn’t just a win for Riteks—it’s a promise to you. A promise that when you work with us, you’re working with a team that cares deeply about the future. We’ll continue to provide best-in-class chemical solutions while doing our part to protect the world we all share.

Together, let’s build a brighter, cleaner future—one responsible innovation at a time.
