Superior Essex Communications: Sustainability
Over the past decade, we have dedicated ourselves to becoming an industry leader with our sustainability practices and sustainable products.
· We have achieved many industry firsts along our sustainability journey, such as our manufacturing plant in Hoisington, Kansas, working diligently to earn the rigorous Zero Waste to Landfill certification – and then maintaining it for five years running.
· We have become openly transparent with our products’ compositional chemistry and manufacturing practices, such as earning recognition as the first communications cable manufacturer to publish Environmental Product Declarations and Health Product Declarations, as well as the first and only one with Red List Free products, as disclosed in our Declare and Living Product Challenge labels.
· We have won numerous industry awards for our environmentally conscious products and practices, even attaining gold level in our sustainability assessment by the Telecommunications Industry Association, the highest level a company can achieve.
As one of the world’s largest communications cable manufacturers, we stand strong in our commitment to sustainability – because we firmly believe that the technology that interconnects the world should also respect it.
Our Long Legacy of Innovation
The ways we connect to the world around us are rapidly changing. 5G and Broadband technologies are already revolutionizing communications as we know it, and in the very near future, how our smart devices wirelessly communicate with each other will be drastically different. And what’s quietly powering and enabling this evolution in data and communications are pioneering cable technologies from Superior Essex.
Our Communications division has long remained as a disruptor and innovator at the forefront of the telecommunications industry. Our dedicated, solutions-oriented teams have designed and manufactured new technologies for a broad portfolio of wire and cable products and accessories, including telephone lines, premises copper and optical fiber cables, Outside Plant (OSP) copper and fiber cables, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) cables, hybrid cables that support broadband and 5G networks and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cables that support Sustainable Intelligent Building technologies.
For over 90 years now, we have built our reputation on designing and manufacturing reliable, futureproof cables that connect Everywhere You Live and Work across the Enterprise, Commercial, Industrial and Utility markets. And for the next 90 years, we plan to keep on innovating and connecting the future of communications.
