SCHLETTER AWARDED FOR ITS PROGRESS ON SUSTAINABILITY
Kirchdorf/Haag,June 17, 2024. Schletter Group's first-ever sustainability
assessment earned a bronze medal from the internationally renowned rating
agency, EcoVadis. This rating places the solar mounting system manufacturer
among the top 35 percent of metalworking companies assessed in the last
twelve months.
"The bronze sustainability rating proves that the path we are on is bearing
fruit. It also shows that we are meeting today's entrepreneurial,
environmental, and social challenges head-on," says Florian Roos, CEO of
Schletter Group. "We see the award as recognition of our efforts, which
motivates us to keep improving and making sure we live up to our
responsibilities. We're going to continue the pursuit of our ambitious
sustainability goals and are setting ourselves a high bar."
Schletter Group's sustainability policies were assessed according to 21
indicators related to the environment, ethics, labor and human rights, and
sustainable procurement. EcoVadis, a rating agency active in more than 200
industries around the world, bases its assessment methodology on
internationally recognized sustainability standards such as the UN Global
Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines.
Particularly notable were Schletter Group's scores in the Environment and
Labor & Human Rights categories, which were well above average. "As a
metalworking company, we're especially happy with these ratings," Roos adds.
The metalworking industry, after all, is one with particularly stringent
requirements related to resource management and emissions, thus making these
ratings quite remarkable. "Our EcoVadis score makes our sustainability
activities more visible for our employees, customers, and suppliers alike.
It's also a great tool we can use to assess the effectiveness of our
strategies and measures in a targeted manner."
The 2023 fiscal year saw Schletter Group publish its very first
sustainability report, in which, alongside its current initiatives, the
company listed a variety of measures it plans to pursue to reduce its carbon
footprint even further in the coming years. By the end of 2024, for
instance, more than 95 percent of Schletter products will be made from
recyclable materials. By the end of 2025, the company is also aiming to hit
a 50 percent recycling rate for the raw materials in its products-primarily
steel, aluminum, and plastic. Furthermore, all in-house administrative
workstations will be powered exclusively by renewable energy by the end of
2028.
Sustainability will also be at the heart of Schletter's presence at the
world's premier industry trade fair, Intersolar, which is set to kick off in
Munich on June 19th.
