TPV Technology ranks in Top 1% for sustainability, earns EcoVadis Platinum medal

The recognition highlights TPV’s strong commitment to environmental and social responsibility, strengthening its leadership in sustainable display technology and emphasizing PPDS’s focus on minimizing environmental impact and tackling important social and ethical industry challenges

TPV Technology, the world’s leading display manufacturer and parent company of PPDS and TP Vision, has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Medal — a distinction that places the company among the top one percent of businesses globally for sustainability performance.

The accolade recognizes TPV’s ongoing commitment to environmental and social responsibility, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable practices within the display technology industry. It also highlights PPDS’s dedication to minimizing environmental impact and addressing key social and ethical challenges tied to the sector.

EcoVadis is an internationally recognized authority on business sustainability, conducting comprehensive annual assessments across key areas including Environmental Impact, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

Since its founding in 2007, EcoVadis has evaluated more than three million companies across 185 countries. Of those, 150,000 have received a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum rating based on a rigorous scoring methodology.

Setting new standards

TPV Technology has been working with EcoVadis since 2021, reflecting its strong commitment to creating long-term value for its employees, customers, suppliers, and communities.

Stefan van Sabben, Global Director CSR and Sustainability at TPV Technology, commented: “We have now advanced to the top one per cent of all assessed companies, a significant achievement that reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices.

“Examples can be found at every level of the business and our channels, from the factory floor to the ongoing performance of our products long after our customers have installed them. We believe a company's value lies not only in its business success but also in the positive impact it creates for people and society.”

TPV Cares

With teams around the world all committed to strengthening societal commitments, teams at TP Vision, MMD-Monitors and Displays, AOC, and PPDS, continue to seek new ways and opportunities to support the people, charities and communities they operate in through TPV Cares.

Set up in 2022, TPV Cares is the home of TPV’s social and environmental impact initiatives, providing a range of resources, including audiovisual products, financial donations, and volunteer support to deserving projects in more than 200 countries.

From taking on gruelling tasks, such as endurance walks, marathons, and mountain climbs, collectively, PPDS, TP Vision, MMD Monitors and Displays, and AOC provide vital funds and solutions – including Philips TVs, interactive and signage displays, speakers, headphones and desktop monitors – making a difference to the lives of many.

A recent example is TPV Cares’ work with FC Barcelona’s Barça Foundation, which included PPDS donating €20 for every visitor who registered their attendance at the Philips booth at ISE 2024, raising significant funds to support the charity’s life changing initiatives and projects.

Stefan van Sabben added, “We are incredibly proud to have been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum rating, and the work continues. With a 40 year history in the global display industry and as a leading display solution provider, we feel it is our duty to continually set new standards. The recognition from EcoVadis validates those efforts and will help buyers make more informed decisions when choosing their solutions and achieving their sustainability goals and ambitions.”
