We are all familiar with certificates and audits. With them, companies guarantee a standard. For instance \u200b\u200bquality management, environmental management or social standards. However, many companies committ themselves to environmental protection or social standards plans far beyond of what audits require. The PSI Sustainability Award rewards this additional commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An example: CO2 emissions are often unavoidable in the process production and logistics. In order to act in a climate-neutral manner, companies compensate and invest in environmental measures. There is a variety of options. But usually, CO2 compensation does not take place where the emission took place. From a global perspective, that’s fine. And this is widely accepted in environmental certifications. However, for some companies this is not appropriate and they start to get active and compensate where they have used the natural resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such and similar initiatives are honored within the framework of the PSI Sustainability Awards in the categories “environment initiative” and “social initiative”.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The category of Environment Initiative looks at everything related to a company\u2019s own environmental initiatives or self-developed environmental standards (a business\u2019s internal, non-certified initiatives, such as investments made in machinery and working conditions, while considering ecological aspects, energy-saving measures and reducing its CO2 footprint, recycling, waste reduction, reduction in water consumption, reduction in chemicals and waste water, green IT, photovoltaic systems, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
