Sustainability
Sustainability creates new business opportunities for us and at the same time it is the guiding principle for our own activities. That is why corporate sustainability is a key component of our Group strategy.
Business driver sustainability
Our customers are increasingly investing in environmentally friendly technologies. Therefore, we are specifically developing low-consumption and low-emissions products and processes that can be used to reduce the ecological footprint of factories and achieve sustainability in production. In addition, we are expanding into business areas that support our customers in manufacturing sustainable products for a climate-neutral future. Examples include production technology for wooden house construction elements and our range of products for the production of electric vehicles.
The trend towards sustainability opens up new business opportunities for us, since our technologies help customers reduce their ecological footprint. At the same time, we want to actively assume our responsibility towards environment, society and employees.
Sustainability management as enabler of our corporate strategy
We are strategically orienting our business activities to three primary trends that are of high relevance for our customers: sustainability, digitalization, and automation.
We have identified five strategic fields that are critical for achieving our goals and expanding our leadership in the global market: glocal (global/local), technology leadership, digitalization, efficiency, and life cycle services.
We have also defined four enablers, i.e. supporting functions, which are particularly important for the successful implementation of the strategy:
- sustainability management
- mergers & acquisitions
- finance management
- people development
