Detection Technology Plc press release 26 November 2025 at 14:00 (EET)

Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, has been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal on its very first assessment — earning an impressive debut score of 63 points that reflects an exceptional initial ranking. Achieving bronze on the first attempt marks above-average ESG performance and represents a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices.

“Most first-time companies score around 48 points, and only about 3% of them exceed 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.

The bronze-level recognition places Detection Technology among the top 35% of all companies assessed globally over the past twelve months and reflects a performance that exceeds that of 63% of companies rated during the same period. This achievement confirms that the company has established a solid sustainability management system and is performing above average in key areas of environmental, ethical, and social responsibility.

“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. The assessment also enables us to benchmark our performance against other companies and continue our sustainability journey in the right direction, with a clear focus on ongoing development and improvement.”

Detection Technology selected EcoVadis as its sustainability assessment partner due to the platform’s global recognition, and reliability. EcoVadis provides an easy-to-understand framework for measuring and communicating sustainability performance, enabling the company to transparently share its progress with business partners and the investor community.

Detection Technology’s approach to corporate social responsibility is firmly grounded in its vision, mission, and values. The company’s sustainability practices are business-driven and closely tied to its culture, which emphasizes exceptional customer experience and excellence in quality. Its commitment to responsible conduct is reflected in its adherence to certified ISO management systems and compliance with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct.

“EcoVadis aligns seamlessly with our sustainability framework. The principles of both RBA and EcoVadis are founded on the same international standards. This alignment makes EcoVadis an effective tool for measuring and communicating Detection Technology’s compliance with RBA expectations and for ensuring the company continues to evolve in the right direction.”
