SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today that it has been awarded a Gold Medal by EcoVadis, a trusted provider of business sustainability ratings globally, in recognition of Infinera’s progress toward its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Infinera achieved an overall score of 79 across evaluation criteria including Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, ranking in the 98th percentile and top five percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the past 12 months.

This achievement reflects Infinera’s ongoing investment in reducing the environmental impact of open optical networking equipment manufacturing, distribution, and implementation.
