TSS, a leading provider of temperature-monitoring solutions for the life-science industry, proudly announces that it has retained the EcoVadis Silver Medal for the second consecutive year. This recognition is a testament to TSS’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, even as EcoVadis raised the bar for its assessment criteria in 2024.

PRESS RELEASE 2024-09-03

EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability ratings, evaluates companies based on 21 criteria across four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. This year, TSS once again achieved a Silver rating, placing it among the top tier of companies worldwide that are committed to sustainable practices.

TSS particularly excelled in environmental management, achieving notable progress in reducing energy consumption, managing greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizing waste. A key factor in this success is the company’s structured circular product process, which focuses on refurbishing reusable components and optimizing product logistics and production management. This approach contributes to reducing the company’s overall environmental footprint.

“We are very proud to keep our EcoVadis Silver Medal this year, especially with the tougher standards. This shows our ongoing commitment to doing business in a responsible and sustainable way. It’s not just about meeting requirements; it’s about making real improvements that benefit everyone—our customers, our team, and the environment,” said Lie Berglind, Chief Quality Officer at TSS.

TSS’s sustainability practices are deeply integrated into its operations, guided by international standards such as the UN Global Compact and ISO 26000. This holistic approach ensures that TSS not only meets but often exceeds industry standards in environmental stewardship, labor practices, ethical conduct, and sustainable procurement.

“Getting rated by EcoVadis each year helps us understand where we stand and where we can do better. It’s an important part of how we make sure we’re doing the right thing for the planet and for people. Keeping this Silver Medal proves that we’re on the right path, but it also pushes us to keep improving,” Berglind added.

TSS scored a 69/100, placing the company in the top 90th percentile globally. With over 130,000 companies evaluated globally, this achievement underscores TSS's dedication to maintaining and improving its sustainability efforts in a rapidly evolving landscape. By integrating sustainability into its core values, TSS is committed to creating a positive impact on the pharmaceutical supply chain and the broader community.

How can maturity in temperature management move your decision process from days to seconds?

In an era where people can make instant cash transfers electronically from their phone and order physical goods to be delivered in hours to their location, there is a portion of the Clinical Supply Chain that seems mired in a staff intensive, manual, reactive business process. That process is evaluating temperature excursions for Clinical Trial material.

Automation is making temperature excursion management simpler and more efficient for clinical sites

Are healthcare professionals working at clinical sites across the world satisfied? It might seem like a strange question to ask, but the way we feel can impact our professional performance in important ways. Perhaps the question is not how satisfied Clinical Operations professionals are, but whether they feel their performance is impacted by lots of time-consuming manual processes that could benefit from automation? Are these processes hampering clinical trial performance?

Reducing excursion evaluation time from days to seconds

The question of how to speed up clinical trials is complicated, especially considering that many trial stages simply cannot be rushed in the interest of trial subjects and the general public. However, process improvements can go a long way.

Can You Rely on the Results from Your Clinical Trials?

The success of a clinical trial depends on the reliability of its data. Many investigational drugs are sensitive to temperature, and any temperature deviation can affect their quality and, in the worst case, patient safety. Automated and integrated temperature monitoring solutions help secure data quality, support compliance, and speed up the delivery of new medicines to patients.
