Sustainability at Ratio
At Ratio, sustainability isn't just a buzzword. We're working to build it
into everything we do, from our innovative product design to
our local manufacturing approach. Reliable today, relevant tomorrow.
Sustainability in our Products
Our products are developed to deliver long service life, be easy to maintain and repair and minimise material waste. This helps avoid unnecessary maintenance or replacement costs for our customers.
We design and source components within the Netherlands and Europe where possible. Shorter supply chains mean reduced transport emissions and greater control over quality and delivery.
Modular construction allows efficient maintenance and repair. This extends the life of our products, reduces waste and lowers costs for our customers.
We use recycled materials, such as housings made from recycled aluminium, often reclaimed from automotive components, to limit waste and material usage.
We actively reduce plastic and paper in our packaging and make packaging more compact so that less material is needed overall.
Solid construction and thoughtful engineering deliver dependable performance over the long term. Our products are tested and developed with a focus on safety, continuity and quality.
Designed for Longevity
Our EV charging solutions are built for sustained, intensive use. We look at the full product lifecycle: construction, material choice, maintenance and durability. The Ratio io7 exemplifies our commitment to sustainable engineering without compromising performance, safety or reliability. A sustainable choice for high-usage commercial charging.

Sustainability also requires deliberate choices in production and supply. That’s why we work with short supply chains and trusted partners, and why we produce and source locally wherever possible. This reduces transport impact, enhances traceability and gives us greater control over quality and delivery.

We apply our sustainability choices not only in our products but also in our daily operations.
We do this through:
- Use of solar energy at our facilities and in our processes
- Electric vehicles for our employees
- Conscious energy use and efficiency, with ongoing improvement
We also make this step tangible for our customers. Models like the Solar, io6 and io7 help link charging to locally generated energy so that solar power is used directly and customer costs are reduced.
Certifications & Policy
Quality, safety and the environment are core to how we work. That is why our processes are structured according to internationally recognised standards and supported by clear policies. These certifications help ensure ongoing accountability and continuous improvement.
