Dyesol Limited has been awarded an "A-" rating in the industry category of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency by Oekom Research, a German-based sustainable investment rating agency. Dyesol was formerly rated “B+”.

In addition, it is classified as “Prime,” meaning it “ranks amongst the world’s best companies in its industry.” The “A-“ or “excellent” rating is based on a composite of a social and an environmental rating. It is also the equal highest rating awarded in Oekom’s universe of global coverage of more than 130 companies in this industry category.

“Dyesol takes its corporate responsibilities very seriously and it is gratifying to see that we are helping to set the standard globally,” Richard Caldwell, chairman of Dyesol, commented. “This rating is an independent validation of our corporate practice and therefore valued highly. It marks a very successful time for the company as we were also recently awarded Australia’s Sustainable Small Company of the Year for 2009 by Ethical Investor magazine.”
