Setting a new benchmark in sustainability: EcoVadis Platinum & Life Cycle Transparency

EcoVadis Platinum: A Global Mark of Sustainability Excellence

EcoVadis awards the Platinum Medal to companies ranking in the top 1 % worldwide, based on comprehensive performance across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

T1 Glass excelled in all four — a reflection of our ongoing dedication to responsible practices that go beyond compliance. From lowering emissions in production to ensuring ethical sourcing and fair workplace standards, our approach integrates sustainability into every layer of how we design, build, and deliver.

Achieving the EcoVadis Platinum scoring of 95 places T1 Glass among the most sustainable companies globally — setting a new benchmark for transparency and accountability in the architectural glass and acoustic partition industry.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Understanding Our Product Footprint

Complementing our EcoVadis recognition, we have completed our first Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report, providing a detailed evaluation of the environmental impact of our products from raw material extraction through to customer's gate.

The LCA offers valuable insight into where emissions, energy use, and material waste are most concentrated across our production chain. These findings guide us in optimizing manufacturing efficiency, refining sourcing strategies, and reducing our overall environmental footprint. For our partners and clients, it’s a measurable assurance that T1 Glass products are backed by real data and transparent reporting — not just sustainability claims.

This milestone positions us among the few in the architectural glass sector to combine quantified life cycle data with global ESG validation, aligning our performance with the expectations of architects, designers, and developers who prioritize verified sustainability in their specifications.

Integrating Sustainability into Every System

Our sustainability achievements are the result of close collaboration between our R&D, operations, and procurement teams. Together, we mapped the full material and energy flow of our production processes — from material sourcing and transportation to fabrication, installation, and end-of-life considerations.

We strengthened supplier oversight, adopted more stringent internal controls, and aligned all procedures with the four EcoVadis pillars of Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Each step of this journey was supported by independent audits and third-party verifications to ensure accuracy, transparency, and credibility.

What It Means for People We Work With

For architects, designers, and project owners, these advancements mean more confidence in every specification. Each product now represents the perfect balance between aesthetic excellence, acoustic performance, and verified sustainability.

With our LCA insights, we are already working to develop next-generation systems that feature lower embodied carbon, improved material efficiency, and a stronger alignment with circular design principles. The ability to quantify our environmental impact not only enhances our accountability — it also strengthens our clients’ green building credentials and helps projects meet rigorous sustainability certifications.

Looking Ahead: Continuous Progress

These dual milestones — EcoVadis Platinum and LCA transparency — mark a defining chapter for T1 Glass. But more importantly, they set the foundation for continuous improvement.

Moving forward, we will publish key LCA findings, define measurable reduction targets, and integrate those results into future product innovation, from anodized finishes to advanced acoustic systems.

Our mission remains clear: to redefine the standard of interior architectural partitions by merging design integrity, acoustic performance, and environmental responsibility into every project we deliver.
