In an exciting milestone for sustainability, Gem Cable Solutions has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Medal, marking the pinnacle of achievement in corporate responsibility and environmental impact. This award recognizes the company’s ongoing dedication to sustainable practices, solidifying its commitment to not just meet but exceed the rigorous standards set by EcoVadis.
Gem Cable Solutions’ journey toward sustainability excellence began in 2022 when it was first recognized with an EcoVadis Silver Medal. The company’s efforts quickly gained momentum, and in the subsequent year, it proudly earned the Gold Medal. Now, just two years after its initial recognition, Gem Cable Solutions has reached the highest level of distinction: the EcoVadis Platinum Medal.
EcoVadis evaluates companies on 21 criteria across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. These areas are critical in assessing how well a company integrates sustainability into its operations, ensuring that businesses are contributing to a positive global impact.
What it Takes to Reach Each Level
Achieving EcoVadis recognition is no easy feat, and each level — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — requires meeting increasingly stringent sustainability benchmarks.
- Silver Medal: The Silver recognition is awarded to companies that have demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability practices. At this level, companies must show effective management in areas like environmental impact, labor practices, and ethical conduct. Gem Cable Solutions earned the Silver Medal in 2022 for its solid foundation in sustainability.
- Gold Medal: After receiving the Silver award, Gem Cable Solutions worked tirelessly to improve and refine its sustainability efforts. The Gold Medal, awarded in 2023, signifies a company that is going above and beyond the basic standards. It reflects not only regulatory compliance but also a strategic integration of sustainable practices into the company’s core business activities.
- Platinum Medal: The highest and most prestigious EcoVadis accolade, the Platinum Medal is awarded to companies that are leaders in sustainability across all sectors. Reaching this level requires excellence in every aspect of business, from environmental stewardship to ethical labour practices and sustainable procurement. Gem Cable Solutions’ Platinum Medal reflects years of hard work, dedication, and continuous improvement.
