EcoVadis, an international sustainability rating agency, has awarded Showdown Displays a 2023 silver medal for its achievements in sustainability and overall efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. This silver rating places Showdown Displays in the top 25 percent of all companies assessed worldwide.
Showdown Displays joined EcoVadis as a Premium Member in early 2022, making sustainability one of its top priorities. The company has taken a range of steps to reduce its environmental impact through efforts such as:
- Incorporating more sustainable materials into their products
- Redesigning packaging to reduce the amount of cardboard used
- Ending the use of printed shipping cartons to reduce ink usage and create packaging that is easier to recycle
Although Showdown Displays had set its sights on earning the EcoVadis Bronze Award for Sustainability in 2023, the company is thrilled to have exceeded that goal by receiving the silver award in record time. "Sustainability encompasses a wide range of social topics, including environmental impact, labor practices, human rights, ethics, and procurement practices," notes John Bruellman, CEO of Showdown Displays. "Our distributors and their customers desire to partner with suppliers that have strong sustainability practices. That accountability and importance is global, touching every supplier, outsource partner and product we sell."
