Celebrating Earth Day – 2022 theme “Invest in our Planet.”

Today’s the day to take action not just because you care about the natural world, but because we all live on it. Every one of us needs a healthy Earth to support our jobs, livelihoods, health & survival, and happiness. A healthy planet is not an option — it is a necessity.
Quadra is in the top 6% of global companies that are assessed by EcoVadis on several criteria such as environmental impact, labour & human rights and ethics. Our efforts towards responsible practices continue to be recognized, we reached and maintained a Gold rating status since 2015.
As a signatory member of the United Nations Global Compact, we report our Communication on Progress (COP) on Sustainability initiatives in our yearly GRI report.
