JDR Cable Systems achieved the prestigious EcoVadis Gold Medal. This places them in the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability. This recognition highlights their commitment to responsible business practices across the board.
To support this achievement, JDR partnered with Energise. They engaged our expert consultants to implement the EcoVadis framework within their operations. Our tailored guidance enabled them to align internal processes with EcoVadis certification criteria. This strengthened documentation, and supported them to effectively showcase their sustainability impact.
