ESG Goal for 2030
To enhance production efficiency by minimizing production waste
A key objective of our sustainability strategy is to increase production efficiency by minimizing production waste. Today, all raw material waste is already processed by external companies. We intend to roll out this concept to cover all types of production waste and all production sites. In addition, we are optimizing our production workflows, for example in order to minimize start-up waste. These measures help us lower our environmental impact, while also boosting production efficiency.

ESG Goal for 2030
To equip our production sites in Wels (AT) and Gardone (IT) with photovoltaic systems
As part of our comprehensive sustainability strategy, we have committed ourselves to equipping our production sites in Wels and St. Aegyd (Austria) as well as in Gardone and Trieste (Italy) with PV systems. Our investment plan provides for a new one to be put into service every two years. The installation of such a system in Trieste is scheduled for 2025, as the opportunities for using renewable energies are limited there. For 2027, we are currently evaluating whether to prioritize our site in Wels or that in Gardone. With this measure, we aim to cover a significant portion of our energy demand with renewable energy and thus significantly reduce our CO2 emissions.

ESG goal for 2030
To provide a fully electrical infrastructure
A central component of our sustainability strategy is to promote electromobility among our employees. Our goal is to transition our entire vehicle fleet to electric vehicles, which is why we have already equipped each of our production sites with e-charging stations. This initiative aims to not only reduce our CO2 emissions, but also to offer our employees greater convenience and flexibility.

ESG Goal for 2030
To promote sustainability through employee involvement
A key objective of our sustainability strategy is to select at least one activity and one investment each year from suggestions submitted by our employees. The aim of this initiative is not only to address sustainability from an employee perspective, but also to continuously improve our attractiveness as an employer. By involving our employees in the decision-making process, e.g., through our employee surveys, we promote greater awareness of sustainable practices while at the same time strengthening the commitment and satisfaction of our workforce. The selected activities and investments are expected to support innovative and sustainable solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically beneficial. For example, our Austrian sites offer improved recycling capabilities, and biodiversity is promoted through an insect hotel, a flower meadow, and tree planting. These measures are part of our comprehensive commitment to sustainability and reflect our efforts to foster a responsible and forward-thinking corporate culture.
