Shaping sustainability through leadership, influence and innovation

We look to the future and invest in sustainability for our employees, our customers and the communities in which we live, work and operate

Through our leadership role, we actively engage customers and suppliers to advance more sustainable practices. Our greatest impact, however, comes from shaping industry processes at scale. Today, this means helping customers reduce energy use, cut waste, and enable circularity.

As an equipment and technology partner to industry, our greatest impact lies beyond our own operations. While improving our own footprint is non‑negotiable, it is not enough. Our sustainability strategy therefore focuses on three pillars: internal transformation, influence through leadership, and change through innovation - addressing both our direct impact and the much larger opportunities across our value chain.

Internal transformation

Leading change from within
We are transforming our operations by placing clear, evidence‑based commitments at the center of what we do.

Setting science‑based, externally validated emissions targets to drive decarbonization
Managing performance through robust global ESG governance, including EcoVadis
Prioritizing what matters most through our CSRD‑aligned double materiality assessment
Embedding sustainability through clear policies,standards and codes of conduct

Influence through leadership

Our latest annual review

Our current annual report is intended to provide transparency, accountability, and insights into our business strategies, achievements, and future prospects. As a company, we bear responsibility for our actions and take this responsibility very seriously.

Corporate social responsibility

As responsible companies, we believe that "better" has many dimensions. It means protecting the planet for future generations, improving health and working conditions, supporting the communities where we live and work, and finding smarter, more efficient, and less wasteful ways of doing things.

Our commitment

Commitment to science-based goals

We were the first company in our industry to commit to ambitious emissions reduction targets through the Science-Based Targets Initiative. We set our targets in 2022, began tracking them in 2023, and continue to work toward achieving them.
