Electra Cables has announced the successful renewal of its Greenstar Certification, achieving recognition under the updated “Best Environmental Practice PVC V2.0” with additional credit.

The company has also received an endorsement from the Vinyl Council of Australia (VCA), marking a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainable practices.

Electra Cables verified its Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) accreditation through the registration of its products on the VCA’s “Best Environmental Practice PVC V2.0” Product Register. This accomplishment highlights the company’s adherence to the GBCA’s Responsible Products Framework, showcasing its dedication to environmentally friendly manufacturing.

To secure the Greenstar Certification, Electra Cables opted for Compliance Pathway 2, a rigorous assessment process that evaluates environmental practices. The certification audit was conducted by Bureau Veritas Australia Pty Ltd., a JAS-ANZ accredited certification body, ensuring an independent and thorough evaluation.

The “Best Environmental Practice PVC V2.0” verification scheme identifies PVC products that meet stringent environmental and social criteria throughout their lifecycle. The initiative aims to assist procurers, specifiers, and consumers in selecting products manufactured with sustainability in mind.

Verified products are eligible for the Best Environmental Practice 2.0 PVC Licence Mark and can be found in the online product register on the VCA website.

Electra Cables remains committed to corporate social responsibility, environmental protection, and workplace safety, while actively engaging its staff to uphold these principles.
