At Kordz, we take the long view – on everything. As a brand built by integrators for integrators, intentionality is at the core of what we do. Not just in how we serve our community with products that perform well in the field, but in how we design, manufacture and deliver them with efficiency, reliability and longevity in mind.
We know the AV industry is seeking solutions to reduce our environmental footprint. That is why over the past five years, Kordz has built upon a foundational design philosophy that is inherently lower impact to include new solutions in packaging and manufacturing processes that embody our commitment to greater environmental sustainability.
Our approach is straightforward: specify what truly matters, discard what doesn’t. Every component, every feature and every process across our company is scrutinised, not just for utility, but for environmental impact. We’re not perfect, but we’re working hard to implement meaningful change across our ecosystem and educate our customers about how they can do the same.
The Environmental Challenge for Connectivity Products
It’s important that integrators understand the current reality for manufacturing connectivity products. This helpful article explains the environmental footprint of connectivity products across the supply chain. Between raw materials, production and freight, a lot goes into making every little cable that you install on site.
That’s why ultimately, we believe it’s important that integrators invest in quality connectivity products. The single best thing you can do to reduce your footprint today is minimise waste so products and packaging don’t end up unnecessarily in landfill. And the good news is, that’s easy to adopt by simply choosing long-lasting products that come in more enviro-friendly packaging, like Kordz.
Practical Sustainability in Action
At Kordz, we’ve taken the time to examine the environmental impact of connectivity products, measure it and Kordzify it through these key initiatives.
Product Design
With a focus on robustness, our range of reliable and long-lasting, products won’t end up prematurely in landfill. They’re designed to an optimal specification for integrators, without flashy, unnecessary extras that only consume more raw material, add to the carbon footprint and price.
We are moving all possible products to recyclable and sustainably sourced packaging, plusdeveloping bulk packaging options that don’t compromise on functionality. Check out our 100% recyclable, award-winning BeltPak, which reduces single-use plastic, materials, and space, making freight more efficient, and ultimately reducing the cost to you. It’s a win-win.
Waste Reduction
Waste reduction is at the heart of our Kordzification philosophy – for the environment, for value for money, for you.
Manufacturing
In 2024, our factories for terminated and bulk cable products achieved the ISO 14064-1 qualification – the international standard for greenhouse gas emissions quantification and reporting.
We have developed a closed loop cooling system to reduce the water usage required to cool cables after insulation or jacketing. We have also installed solar panels that provide renewable energy and reduce emissions

“Sustainability isn’t just about cutting carbon. It’s about building systems that last. AV professionals are increasingly being asked to consider environmental factors alongside performance, reliability and cost. We see it as our role to make that easier by building responsibility into our products from the start. Like everything we do at Kordz – this is about working smarter, not harder. And we’re committed to this for the long haul – because responsibility, integrity and professionalism go hand in hand.”
— James Chen, Kordz Managing Director
