mobilezone has been awarded the Silver Medal by EcoVadis, a leading provider of sustainability ratings, in recognition of its sustainable and responsible business practices. The upgrade from last year's Bronze Medal places the mobilezone Group among the top 15% of companies worldwide of its size assessed by EcoVadis. The evaluation was conducted at Group level and covers all units within the mobilezone Group, reflecting the continuous advancement of sustainability management across the organization.
In recent years, mobilezone has systematically expanded its sustainability structures and processes. Key initiatives include the further development of sustainability reporting in line with the European ESRS sustainability reporting standards, the integration of newly acquired group companies into the ESG management framework, and the successful certification of the environmental management system according to ISO 14001. These efforts demonstrate a strategic commitment to embedding sustainability into core business operations.
"The Silver Medal is both a recognition of our achievements and an incentive to continue improving. We remain committed to pursuing our chosen path and will continue to integrate sustainability into the development of our business in a targeted and meaningful way," says Bernhard Machler, CFO of mobilezone.

EcoVadis, active since 2007, has certified around 150,000 companies in more than 185 countries based on internationally established standards and guidelines. As one of the world's leading sustainability rating providers, EcoVadis assesses companies in the fields of ecology, social issues, and sustainability. The recognition from such a prominent organization underscores mobilezone's dedication to responsible business practices.
The implications of this award extend beyond mere recognition. For mobilezone, a leading company in the Swiss telecommunications and mobile lifestyle market, the Silver Medal signals to investors, customers, and partners that the company is serious about sustainability. In an industry often criticized for electronic waste and energy consumption, mobilezone's efforts—such as its "Second Life" business focused on repairs and refurbished devices—position it as a forward-thinking player. This aligns with growing consumer and regulatory demands for environmental and social responsibility.
Moreover, the award could enhance mobilezone's competitive advantage. As sustainability becomes a key differentiator, companies with strong ESG ratings may benefit from improved access to capital, better supplier relationships, and increased customer loyalty. The Group's focus on expanding recurring revenue through services like mobile virtual network operations and B2B solutions further integrates sustainability into its long-term strategy. For the telecommunications sector, mobilezone's achievement serves as a benchmark, demonstrating that even amid rapid technological change, commitment to sustainability can drive both reputation and resilience.
