Euskal Kirol Apostua, Award ON Bizkaia 2017
01 March 2017
Ekasa, a company created in 2002 by more than 100 Basque slot machine operators in order to develop a technology capable of managing the online sports betting business, has received from Unai Rementeria, General Deputy of Bizkaia, the Award ON Bizkaia 2017 to the best start-up trajectory.
The awards ON Bizkaia, already in their fourth edition, recognize the contribution of Bizkaia SMEs to the generation of economic activity and employment.
Firmly convinced that innovation is the only way to be competitive, Ekasa presented in 2012 a first R+D+i initiative — the portal RETAbet— followed by many others that have made the company a state leader in The sector of sports betting operators.
The company, integrated in the RETA group, has since its beginnings relied on the creativity, professionalism and solvency of ADN DESIGN for the mechanical design and development of its betting terminals. "This has allowed," said Carlos San José, project manager at ADN DESIGN, "that the entire range of terminals could respond to a unique design identity that has proven to be very relevant in the industry."
Currently, Ekasa has just added ecodesign to a new betting terminal by ADN DESIGN. "The environmental improvement strategies adopted include the optimization of electric consumption, the choice of materials and components that are more environmentally friendly or end-of-life management of the terminal," said Carlos San José. This well-deserved recognition will be an important stimulus to continue in this innovative and sustainable trajectory.

Ecodesign Management System
04 November 2015
Since the beginning of our long history, we have been aware of the environmental impact generated by our activity through the impacts associated with the life cycle of the products designed in collaboration with our customers.
Aware of this responsibility, we have shown throughout the years a strong will to strengthen our environmental perspective, developing and integrating new tools and processes related to the design services that we offer. The use of Ecodesign methodologies adapted to each project has enabled us to optimize the environmental performance of the designed products throughout its lifecycle. In this context, the international standard ISO 14006: 2011 has given us the guidelines to establish, document, implement, maintain and continuously improve the management of Ecodesign as part of an environmental management system.
Today we are pleased to announce that AENOR, Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification, has certified that ADN DESIGN has a management system in accordance with Ecodesign UNE-EN ISO 14006: 2011. Obtaining this certificate acknowledges and demonstrates our strong commitment to developing sustainable products that respect the environment. We work in the search, selection and application of new materials, solutions and production processes more environmentally friendly to the environment, to improve product performance and reduce their environmental impact.
This eco-innovative attitude is completed with continuous training of our team in Ecodesign and the transfer of good environmental practices to suppliers, customers, employees, and agents involved in the different phases of the lifecycle of the products we design.
The Ecodesign management system certification project has been supported by the Department of Environment and Territorial Planning of the Basque Government.
