STL, a leading optical and digital solutions company, today announced that it has become the ‘first in the world’ to launch a range of Eco-labelled Certified Optical Products. This range of optical products is recognised by US-based Sphera, an ESG performance consulting services company, and verified by Metsims Sustainability Consulting, a global sustainability consulting firm.
Third-party verification of an ecolabel is of utmost importance as it adds credibility and trust to the environmental claims made by the company. This reputable third-party certification places STL’s sustainability efforts in the top quadrant of environmental leadership, classifying its gold-rated products as ‘Sustainable and Green’. This achievement attests to STL’s ingenuity towards bonafide sustainable practices in an era where greenwashing concerns are becoming commonplace.
These ISO 14024 and EU guidelines compliant Ecolabels granted to STL’s products are multi-attribute in nature, which means they cover many distinct environmental parameters such as energy use, chemical use, recycling, and more.
Post rigorous, multi-attribute evaluation, STL’s products exhibited robust performance.
This announcement comes after a series of world-leading sustainability initiatives by the company, including Zero-Waste to Landfill, Zero Liquid Discharge certifications, and the recently announced adoption of the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Excited about STL’s cradle-to-grave Eco-label framework that covers all stages from sourcing to finished products, Akanksha Sharma, Global ESG Head, STL, said: “We are always committed to providing our customers the most sustainable products. Our Eco-labelled products, which are gold-rated on sustainability standards and assured by an external agency, are a big leap forward towards making sustainability a core and integrated industry practice in the industry. This will greatly benefit our customers, enabling them to build more sustainable supply chains and accelerate their carbon-neutrality goals.”
