Four companies from the Eco Baltia group participated in the evaluation this year, and all were recognized with awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cOur operations have always been deeply rooted in sustainability principles, as we strive daily to promote the circular economy and reduce resource consumption. Participation in the Sustainability Index allows us not only to assess our achievements but also to identify the next steps for development. Receiving a high Gold Rating in our first year of participation confirms that our contributions to environmental and social initiatives have a positive impact. We will continue to strengthen our sustainability activities and expand their scope,\u201d<\/em> <strong>said Andris Trumars, Director of SIA \u201cNordic Plast.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the first year SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d participated in the Sustainability Index, earning the prestigious Gold Rating. Over the past year, the company launched a fleet renewal program, transitioning to electric vehicles. It also calculated its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including Scope 3 emissions, and conducted an energy audit at its new factory premises. Additionally, the company replaced its employees\u2019 workwear with uniforms made from recycled polyester. Significant improvements were also made to employee well-being, with all employees now receiving free meals and unlimited hot beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most notable achievements of the past year was the opening of an accredited laboratory. To encourage the use of more environmentally friendly materials in product manufacturing, SIA \u201cNordic Plast,\u201d in collaboration with \u201cLatvijas Za\u013cais punkts\u201d and through the implementation of an EU LIFE project, established a specialized polymer testing laboratory in Latvia. This facility will serve as a tool for assessing the recyclability of plastics, contributing to the EU&#8217;s goals of increasing the volume of recycled waste in Latvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, four Eco Baltia group companies participated in the Sustainability Index evaluation, and all received awards. SIA \u201cEco Baltia vide\u201d and AS \u201cIterum\u201d were awarded Platinum Ratings, while SIA Siguldas pils\u0113tas \u201cJUMIS\u201d and SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d received Gold Ratings. SIA \u201cEco Baltia vide\u201d participated in the index for the third time, AS \u201cIterum\u201d for the second year, and SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d and SIA Siguldas pils\u0113tas \u201cJUMIS\u201d took part for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sustainability Index is a strategic management tool based on internationally recognized methodology. It serves as an excellent control mechanism, helping companies in Latvia assess their sustainability and corporate responsibility performance. Participation in the Sustainability Index demonstrates courage and transparency, while also highlighting a company\u2019s commitment to improving its impact on the environment and society, contributing to the development of the industry and promoting national sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1326,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d Earns Gold Rating in the \u201cSustainability Index 2024\u201d - Nordic Plast<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nordicplast.lv\/en\/news\/sia-nordic-plast-earns-gold-rating-in-the-sustainability-index-2024\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d Earns Gold Rating in the \u201cSustainability Index 2024\u201d - Nordic Plast\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The recycling company SIA \u201cNordic Plast\u201d has received a Gold Rating in the 2024 Sustainability Index, organized by the Institute for Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility.
