RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Weidmüller, a leading provider of smart industrial connectivity and automation products and solutions, is one of only six worldwide winners of the 2024 Supplier Sustainability Award from Emerson, a global industrial technology leader. The award was presented on April 23, 2025, during a global webinar.

In selecting the recipients of the prestigious award, Emerson evaluated suppliers on a variety of criteria related to a company’s goals for a reduction in data emissions, along with the action plan and collaborative process to achieve the desired solution. Companies were also reviewed for their efforts to incorporate sustainability as a strategic business focus and for their transparency in sharing insights with customers.

Weidmüller had established a target goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 35% (starting in 2019) by 2030, with plans to expand across all global company locations. Some highlights of the company’s award-winning actions included:

• Energy efficient buildings featuring geothermal energy, LED lighting, EV charging, solar roofs, heat pumps, reduced water consumption and reduction of single-use plastic
• Reduction of its carbon footprint with new local manufacturing in Richmond, Va., and a newly installed native habitat landscape
• Producing a public sustainability report since 2021

“We are honored to receive the Supplier Sustainability Award from Emerson. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to integrating sustainable practices throughout every facet of our organization,” said Christian von Toll, Chief Sales Officer for Weidmüller. “We strongly believe that economic success and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand to ensure a better future for generations to come. This award inspires us to further strengthen our efforts and continue developing innovative solutions that create lasting, positive impact on both the environment and society.”

“We are genuinely thrilled to be among the select few companies recognized by Emerson for their 2024 Supplier Sustainability Award,” said Randy Sadler, President and CEO of Weidmuller USA. “All of our employees, from top leadership and throughout Weidmüller’s global enterprise, view sustainability holistically. For us, it’s not just about protecting the climate and the environment. Being holistically sustainable also includes embracing industrial processes that conserve resources as well as reimagined technologies and social responsibility. That is our credo for the future.”
