Thundergrid Advances with Sustainability Medal
Thundergrid continues to strengthen its mission of providing future-proof, end-to-end solutions, following the announcement that its parent company, Landis+Gyr, was awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Medal in September 2024. "This achievement is a significant milestone for our industry, where manufacturing, devices, and solutions are all subject to rigorous sustainability reviews," said Jonathan Zukerman, COO and Co-Founder of Thundergrid | A Landis+Gyr Company. "As part of Landis+Gyr, we are incredibly proud to see this recognition of our ongoing sustainability efforts."
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates sustainability performance across 21 criteria within four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. As a 100% subsidiary of Landis+Gyr, Thundergrid celebrates the achievement of this Platinum status, which acknowledges the company’s robust commitment to sustainability across its operations.
Landis+Gyr earned its highest score in the Environment category (90/100), followed by strong scores in Labor & Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement (80/100 each), and Ethics (70/100). These results highlight Landis+Gyr's ongoing efforts to measure, improve, and mitigate its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts.
The EcoVadis Platinum Medal places the company in the top 1% of rated companies within its peer group, reflecting its leadership and operation in sustainability across 30 countries.

Landis+Gyr announced that it had significantly improved its overall sustainability score, increasing from 72 to 80 since its last assessment. This notable progress further demonstrates Landis+Gyr’s dedication to embedding sustainable practices throughout its operations. "Our improved EcoVadis rating reflects our ongoing efforts to lead the industry in sustainability," said Werner Lieberherr, CEO of Landis+Gyr.
