We are proud to share that Intercel has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold medal for our performances in sustainability and in corporate social responsibility. Companies that wish to have their sustainability initiatives assessed, test their initiatives through EcoVadis. With this recognition, Intercel Group ranks among the top 5% of more than 150,000 companies assessed worldwide.
Leading the way in a complex battery market
The battery market is booming and growing, but is also complex and rapidly changing. Legislation, ESG criteria and supply chain requirements make it challenging for customers to make the right choices. Intercel Group, consisting of Wetac, BSOL and Intercel, continuously invests in knowledge, compliance and cooperation with suppliers, ensuring that customers are supported and guaranteed reliable, future-proof solutions.
“This EcoVadis Gold Medal confirms that our renewed ESG approach helps both ourselves and our customers move forward. We not only align with international standards, but also demonstrate that sustainability and safety for people and the environment are not just promises, but an integral part of our thinking and actions,” says Brenda Dorsman, Greenkeeper & Compliance Coordinator at Intercel. “Within the battery sector we are a true frontrunner. By following legislation (including the Battery Regulation and strict Dutch safety regulations of energy storage systems) and ESG developments on a daily basis and translating them into our organization, products and services, we are able to help our customers meet their sustainability obligations. We guide them through the complexity, so they can focus on their own business.”
Sustainability in our DNA
The awarding of the EcoVadis Gold Medal closely aligns with Intercel Group’s sustainability ambitions. The company’s operations focus on the energy transition and electrification of society: through Intercel Electrification, the company accelerates the shift from fossil fuels to electric propulsion with robust, innovative tailor-made batteries. Intercel Storage (ESS) provides reliable energy storage, for example for renewable energy or as a solution to grid congestion challenges. In addition, Intercel Motive supplies cyclic batteries for sectors such as mobility, cleaning and agriculture. Intercel Standby provides back-up energy solutions for critical systems such as UPS systems in telecom, data centers, healthcare and security.
“The EcoVadis Gold Medal is an important milestone for us and for our customers,” says Jeroen Pietryga, CEO of Intercel Group. “It shows that our products and services directly contribute to the ESG goals of our partners. Whether it’s electrifying machines and equipment, using energy more effectively through energy storage systems, or supplying reliable batteries for light electric vehicles or critical systems: together we are working on future-proof and responsible energy solutions, benefiting both current and future generations.”
