Gem Cable Solutions Awarded EcoVadis Platinum Medal: A Testament to Sustainability Excellence

At Gem Cable Solutions, we’ve always taken pride in delivering bespoke cable assemblies, wiring looms, fibre optic solutions, and network systems of the highest quality. Today, we’re proud to share that our efforts have been recognised on a global scale with the prestigious Platinum Medal from EcoVadis, the leading sustainability ratings provider. This award marks a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainable excellence, and we’re excited to share what this achievement means for our business, our industry, and the planet.

From Silver to Platinum: A Journey of Continuous Improvement

Our sustainability journey began in 2022 when we received a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, a recognition that inspired us to strive for more. Through a focused and consistent approach, we advanced to a Gold Medal before achieving the ultimate Platinum Medal this year.

This progression reflects not only our growing commitment to sustainability but also our ability to embed environmentally conscious practices across all areas of our operations. It’s a testament to the dedication of our team, whose efforts have driven innovation and improvement every step of the way.

EcoVadis evaluates companies on 21 criteria spanning environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Achieving Platinum places us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally—an accomplishment we’re deeply proud of and one that further motivates us to keep raising the bar.

Why Sustainability Matters in Manufacturing

Sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern, it’s a key driver of innovation and resilience in modern manufacturing. Industries like defence and aerospace, where precision and reliability are essential, must also consider the environmental and ethical impact of their operations. This includes how products are sourced, manufactured, and delivered, as well as the broader implications for society and the planet.

At Gem Cable Solutions, we recognise the importance of balancing our role as a trusted supplier with our responsibility to the environment and society. By continuously refining our processes and adopting sustainable practices, we:

• Help reduce waste and energy consumption.
• Create products that align with environmental goals.
• Support clients and partners in achieving their sustainability targets.

Achieving EcoVadis Platinum status demonstrates our ability to deliver on both fronts, meeting the growing expectations of clients and stakeholders who value ethical, environmentally responsible solutions.

How We Achieved Platinum Status

Our sustainability strategy is built on a foundation of accountability, transparency, and innovation. Here’s a closer look at the key areas that contributed to our success:

Environmental Responsibility

Reducing our environmental footprint has been a core focus. We’ve implemented a range of initiatives, including:

• Minimising waste in our manufacturing processes.
• Improving energy efficiency across our facilities.
• Adopting greener materials and sustainable alternatives in our products.

Labour and Human Rights

We are committed to ensuring the fair treatment, safety, and well-being of all employees. This includes:

• Creating a workplace culture that prioritises people.
• Promoting ethical labour practices across our supply chain.
• Partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to ethical standards.

Ethical Standards

Maintaining trust and transparency is integral to our success. We’ve strengthened this through:

• Adherence to rigorous ethical standards in all operations.
• Transparent collaboration with clients and suppliers.
• Accountability in every aspect of our business.

Sustainable Procurement

Our supply chain plays a critical role in our sustainability journey. To ensure alignment with our goals, we focus on:

• Building partnerships with environmentally and ethically responsible suppliers.
• Monitoring and improving supply chain resilience.
• Encouraging shared sustainability objectives with all partners.

These initiatives, combined with our team’s dedication, have driven continuous improvement, helping us achieve the highest level of sustainability recognition.

What EcoVadis Platinum Means for Our Clients

For our clients, this recognition offers reassurance that Gem Cable Solutions is a partner you can trust—not only for high-quality products but also for responsible business practices. Whether you’re in defence, aerospace, or another industry, working with a Platinum-rated supplier means:

• Contributing to global sustainability goals without compromising on performance or reliability.
• Partnering with a supplier who aligns with your own Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments.
• Ensuring compliance with global standards for sustainable and ethical practices.

The EcoVadis Platinum Medal also demonstrates our readiness to support clients in meeting their own sustainability targets. By choosing Gem Cable Solutions, you gain a partner dedicated to creating a greener, fairer future.

Leading by Example in UK Manufacturing

As a UK-based manufacturer committed to quality, reliability, and environmental stewardship, we’re proud to lead the way in sustainable manufacturing. Our work spans critical industries where precision and dependability are paramount, but we believe that delivering on those needs should not come at the cost of ethical or environmental integrity.

Our EcoVadis Platinum Medal highlights our ability to:

• Integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business.
• Inspire other manufacturers to prioritise sustainable practices.
• Demonstrate that responsibility and success can coexist.

While this recognition is a significant milestone, it also reinforces our commitment to ongoing improvement and innovation.

Building on Our Success

While we’re thrilled with our Platinum status, we view it as the beginning of even greater achievements. Moving forward, we’re focused on:

• Reducing our environmental impact even further through new technologies.
• Strengthening partnerships with ethical suppliers.
• Exploring innovations that align with sustainable and efficient manufacturing.

Our journey so far has shown us the power of collective effort. By working closely with our team, clients, and partners, we aim to meet the challenges of today and the demands of tomorrow. Every step we take is a step towards a more sustainable future.
