September 9, 2024: Sunlight Group, the Greece-based international battery manufacturer, has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis gold medal for exceptional sustainability performance, ranking it among the top 5% of organizations in the world.

Sunlight has made remarkable strides in its sustainability journey, the company said, as demonstrated by this latest EcoVadis rating — a globally recognized assessment system which evaluates performance in sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The accolade highlights the company’s significant investments and commitment to the highest environmental, social, and ethical standards. Notably, the firm has advanced from a bronze rating (top 35%) a year ago and no rating two years prior, to achieving a gold medal today.

By investing in the circular economy and operating recycling facilities across Germany, Greece, and Italy, Sunlight is closing the loop on resource use, reducing waste, recovering valuable materials, and developing more sustainable products..

Lambros Bisalas, CEO of Sunlight Group said: “This achievement represents a significant milestone for our organization, highlighting our unwavering dedication to sustainable and ethical practices that benefit our entire ecosystem—customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and board members alike.

“A few years ago we lacked any formal rating, then starting with a 14% rating in 2021, we have, in just three years, made the necessary improvements and investments to earn this prestigious gold medal.

“Yet, our journey doesn’t stop here. The sustainability mindset has become ingrained in our daily operations and we will continue to advance our efforts—not just for the rating, which validates our work, but more importantly, for the positive impact we strive to create in the world around us.”
