Stratasys has just been awarded a Gold Medal by EcoVadis, placing us among the top 5% of companies assessed globally. This recognition as a leader in sustainable business practices is not the result of a single initiative, but a comprehensive
What does it take to mobilize a global enterprise around ESG - not as a reporting exercise, but embedded in everyday operations a natural organizational muscle and integral part of our pride and Company DNA?
A successful ESG practitioner understands that sustainability is ingrained in multi-functional collaboration. It is built across finance, operations, procurement, HR, R&D, facilities, legal, IT, and commercial teams, each holding a critical piece of the puzzle. The goal is to create context, alignment, and shared ownership, that promotes our Stratasys leadership position and strengthens trust across our ecosystem.
At Stratasys, a leader in 3D printing parts for production, ESG is directly connected to how we innovate and serve customers. Many of the world’s most advanced manufacturers are pursuing ambitious goals for waste reduction, process and product optimization, energy efficiency, and carbon emissions reduction. To support them credibly, we must hold ourselves to the same standard.
That starts with building the capacity to measure.
Designing and implementing a global data-collection and reporting infrastructure across a diverse workforce is no small task. It requires clear governance, defined KPIs, digital systems, documentation discipline, and, most importantly, engagement. Teams must understand not just what data is needed, but why it matters. When people see how their work connects to environmental impact, ethical sourcing, or labor practices, ESG becomes a source of pride rather than compliance.
A strong ESG program creates the mechanisms to continuously improve — tracking energy consumption, monitoring emissions, strengthening responsible procurement, and ensuring safe and fair workplaces across regions. It translates sustainability principles into operational performance.
For a manufacturing technology company like Stratasys, this alignment is powerful. Additive manufacturing enables smarter design, material efficiency, lightweighting, and localized production. By embedding ESG into our backbone, we ensure that our innovation advances manufacturing performance while protecting our people and planet.
Ultimately, enterprise ESG leadership is about partnership — building trust internally, enabling customers externally, and reinforcing responsible growth globally. Our EcoVadis Gold recognition marks an important milestone, but it is also a reminder that leadership in sustainability is earned every day through discipline, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
