Sustainability Awards
While sustainability is an integral part of our daily business at Genelec, it’s gratifying when this is recognised by our industry too, and we’re proud to have been the recipients of sustainability awards from some of the most prestigious organisations in the business.
AV Awards, 2024
In 2024, the AV Awards judging panel once again recognised Genelec’s green credentials by declaring us winners of the Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award. In recognising us, the judges praised our enduring commitment to sustainability and highlighted our comprehensive understanding of sustainability principles. They particularly commended us for our proactive management of recycling initiatives.
IABM Awards, 2023
We were once again recognised by the International Trade Association for Broadcast and Media Technology (IABM), who judged us as winners of their Environmental Sustainability Award.
Having assessed our sustainability credentials and our track record of delivering on our promises, the IABM’s judges concluded that “Genelec’s sustainability commitment is pervasive to everything they do…… if all companies had this ethos, we’d all be in a better place.”
Corporate Star Awards, 2023
The Corporate Star Awards recognise Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) achievements in the Broadcast, Media and Entertainment Sector, celebrating those leading the way to a sustainable future. We were delighted to win the Best Carbon Footprint Improvement Initiative award in 2023, for our efforts in monitoring and setting new targets for lowering the carbon footprint impact of our business activities.
Mondo-DR Awards, 2023
At one of the AV world’s most coveted award events, Mondo-DR Magazine’s expert panel of independent judges and previous winners chose us as the recipient of its 2023 Sustainability Award, taking into account our working culture, environmental management, sustainable supply, communication of credentials, sustainability reporting and developmental goals.
Inavation Awards, 2022
In 2022, we received the prestigious Inavation Business Award for Sustainability. Genelec’s long heritage of sustainable practice and continued strong efforts to minimise our environmental impact impressed Inavate Magazine’s panel of industry experts, who in collaboration with ISE, annually recognise and celebrate the very best of AV design, integration and management on a global level.
AV Awards, 2020
We were also judged Green Business of the Year in 2020 by the highly respected AV Awards. The AV Awards judging panel comprised an independent group of senior representatives from end-user organisations, consultants and key industry players, and they carefully evaluated every aspect of our business for sustainable practices – including materials, manufacturing processes, energy consumption, packaging and loudspeaker lifecycle.IABM Awards, 2016
We were extremely proud that the International Trade Association for Broadcast and Media Technology (IABM) honoured us with a Highly Commended Award for Sustainability. The IABM judges chose Genelec for our “long-standing commitment to sustainability, established well before it was commonplace, or perhaps fashionable, to have this as part of a corporate philosophy.”
