Genelec wins 2024 AV Award for Sustainability

Genelec is proud to have been recognised with the Sustainability Initiative of the Year award at the prestigious AV Awards in London, which are known globally for spotlighting the highest levels of excellence, innovation and leadership within the AV industry.

Sponsored by Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award honours companies that embrace eco-friendly practices in both product development and organisational culture. The award further highlights our sustainability-driven business ethos, which has earned us previous acclaim – including the AV Awards’ 2020 Green Business of the Year and 2021 Manufacturer of the Year accolades.

In choosing us as winners, the judges praised our enduring commitment to sustainability and highlighted our comprehensive understanding of sustainability principles. They particularly commended us for our proactive management of recycling initiatives.

This commitment to sustainability began with Genelec co-founder Ilpo Martikainen, who grew up on a farm and saw how Finland’s huge timber industry constantly replenished its forests to ensure sustainability. Ilpo became actively involved in tree planting himself, and his desire to run a company in a sustainable way became part of Genelec’s DNA.

Since then, our mission has been to treat sustainability with equal importance as sound quality and profitability. Our solutions are designed to perform reliably for decades, backed up by long term technical and spare part support. We’re committed to minimising waste and designing power efficient products, and we make extensive use of recycled materials both in our products and their packaging. Finally, we believe that the people within our organisation are our biggest asset. They make us versatile, create diversification of skills and creativity, and promote innovation.

We’d like to thank our whole team for the enormous contribution they’ve made to pushing Genelec forward, the AV Awards team for their recognition, and all our AV users for their incredible support. Additionally, we’d like to extend many congratulations to this year’s other winners, a full list of which is available here.
