plc** ([LON:SCE](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/surface-transforms-plc/sce.l))
manufacturers of carbon fibre reinforced ceramic automotive brake discs, has announced
that the Company has received London Stock Exchange’s Green Economy Mark.

The award, first introduced in 2019, was created to highlight companies and investment
funds listed on all segments of the market that are driving the green economy. To
qualify for the Green Economy Mark, companies and investment funds must generate
50% or more of their total annual revenues from products and services that contribute
to the global green economy. The award recognises both “pure-play” green technology
companies, as well as those across all industries that are making a significant 
contribution to the transition to a sustainable low carbon economy. Only 108 of 
all London listed companies have qualified for the award.

> **Kevin Johnson, Surface Transforms CEO said:** _“We are delighted to receive 
> this recognition. We are proud that our technology is assisting the reduction 
> in the carbon footprint of the automotive industry, through engine emissions (
> lighter weight), accelerating the use of electric vehicles and reduced brake pad
> dust. These issues have long been of crucial importance to our customers and we
> are now increasingly seeing the same focus from investors. Our work on ESG will
> remain central to how we continue to develop the Company.”_

Surface Transforms plc. (LON:SCE) develops and produces carbon‐ceramic material 
automotive brake discs. The Company is the UK’s only manufacturer of carbon‐ceramic
brake discs, and only one of two mainstream carbon ceramic brake disc companies 
in the world, serving customers that include major OEMs in the global automotive
markets.

The Company utilises its proprietary next generation Carbon Ceramic Technology to
create lightweight brake discs for high‐performance road and track applications 
for both internal combustion engine and electric vehicles. While competitor carbon‐
ceramic brake discs use discontinuous chopped carbon fibre, Surface Transforms interweaves
long strand carbon fibre to form a 3D matrix, producing a stronger and more durable
product with improved heat conductivity compared to competitor products; this reduces
the brake system operating temperature, resulting in lighter and longer life components
with superior brake performance. These benefits are in addition to the benefits 
of all carbon‐ceramic brake discs vs. iron brake discs: weight savings of up to 
70%, longer product life, consistent performance, reduced brake pad dust and corrosion
free.
