Detection Technology, a prominent player in the X-ray detector market, has been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal on its first attempt, securing a notable score of 63 points.

This accomplishment reflects the company’s strong initial ranking in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and marks a significant milestone in its ongoing dedication to sustainable business practices.

Bronze-Level Recognition

The bronze-level recognition places Detection Technology among the top 35% of all companies assessed worldwide by EcoVadis over the past year.

This achievement demonstrates the company's above-average performance in sustainability compared to 63% of other companies evaluated in the same timeframe.

Most first-time companies score around 48 points, and only about 3% surpass the advanced 65-point level—a threshold we came very close to with our strong debut score of 63 points. On average, companies outperform the 63-point level on their fourth rating. Detection Technology’s Bronze Medal on its first attempt is truly exceptional,” said Kai Utela, Vice President of Operations at Detection Technology.

Ongoing Development and Improvement

The EcoVadis rating signifies that Detection Technology has a robust sustainability management system.

"Our EcoVadis rating demonstrates that we are truly a trusted partner, ensuring that our customers and other stakeholders do not need to worry about sustainability risks. They can rely on our business operations meeting strong sustainability criteria, as this recognition shows our above-average commitment compared to our peers," Utela added.

The assessment allows the company to benchmark its performance against others and continue its sustainability journey with a focus on ongoing development and improvement.
