NEWS ATG ACHIEVES ECOVADIS PLATINUM STATUS
ATG, a global designer, developer and in-house manufacturer of premium hand protection solutions, has achieved EcoVadis Platinum status, the highest level of recognition awarded by the globally recognised sustainability ratings platform. This places ATG in the top 1% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide.
The achievement reflects ATG’s continued commitment to responsible business practices, environmental stewardship and long- term sustainable growth. Assessed across Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement, EcoVadis evaluates not only policies and commitments, but also the measures, reporting, certifications and performance outcomes that demonstrate how sustainability is embedded throughout an organisation.
For ATG, the recognition represents an important milestone in a journey that has been shaped by continuous improvement for more than three decades.
A company spokesperson said: “Some organisations aim to tick boxes. We focus on continuous improvement. That mindset shapes the way we approach sustainability, responsible business practices and long-term performance. While we are proud to achieve EcoVadis Platinum status, we view it as a milestone rather than a destination. Our objective remains the same as it has always been: to keep improving.”

LATEST ANNUAL WORK-RELATED FATALITIES PUBLISHED
Great Britain remains one of the safest places in the world to work, according to new analysis published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) alongside its annual work- related fatality statistics for 2025/26.
The latest figures show that 126 workers were killed in work-related incidents during the year. Excluding the years affected by the coronavirus pandemic (2019/20–2021/22), this is provisionally the lowest annual total on record, compared with 217 fatalities 20 years ago and 495 in 1981.

For the first time, HSE has compared Great Britain’s fatal injury rates with those of 35 countries worldwide, extending beyond Europe. The analysis provides further evidence that Great Britain continues to maintain one of the strongest workplace safety records internationally.
Construction (25 deaths) and agriculture, forestry and fishing (22 deaths) recorded the highest number of worker fatalities. Agriculture, forestry and fishing also had the highest fatal injury rate at 8.09 per 100,000 workers,
followed by waste and recycling at 5.47, compared with the overall average of 0.37 across all industries.
Falls from height remained the leading cause of workplace fatalities, accounting for 31 deaths, around a quarter of the total. Workers aged 60 and over represented nearly one-third of all fatalities (40 deaths), despite making up only 12% of the workforce.
A further 104 members of the public died in work-related incidents during 2025/26.

integrated manufacturing model provides visibility, accountability and the ability to continuously improve operational performance across the organisation.
The EcoVadis assessment reflects a broad range of initiatives, certifications and performance management systems that support ATG’s sustainability strategy, including:
• •
ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification
ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas verification
• Product Life Cycle Assessments conducted in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 methodologies
• Product Carbon Footprint reporting • SMETA 4-Pillar ethical trade audits • LEED Gold certification for the company’s Wathupitiwala manufacturing facility
• SGS recognition as an ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Role Model
• Participation in the United Nations Global Compact
These systems are supported by measurable operational outcomes. In 2025, renewable energy accounted for more than 50% of electricity
consumption, greenhouse gas emission intensity was reduced by 51%, 100% of waste was diverted from landfill and recycled water usage increased by 21%. ATG also continued to expand circular economy initiatives that transform manufacturing by- products into valuable secondary resources, including recycled rubber products, organic fertiliser and paint for use in the communities local to their facilities in Sri Lanka.
Sustainability is embedded throughout ATG’s operations and product development processes. Through Product Lifecycle Management, Life Cycle Assessment and Product Carbon Footprint measurement, the company continues to evaluate and reduce environmental impacts while maintaining the comfort, durability and protection standards expected from ATG hand protection solutions.
The company credits the achievement to the collective efforts of employees across the business whose commitment and dedication continue to drive progress.
