ESG Focus Areas

• Security
• Energy Efficiency
• Sustainability

Environmental Achievements

• Reduced energy consumption by approximately 1 million kWh (36% reduction in 2022) and annual CO2 emissions by 316 tons between 2020 and 2022 at the Hartmannsdorf production site.
• Achieved nearly paperless office through digitalization.

Social Achievements

• Digitalization of service processes for system installation and commissioning, including customer and supplier portals.
• Global certification of the company's digitized management system.

Governance Achievements

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Supply chain disruptions due to global saving programs, uncertain future forecasts, and volatility in supply and demand, leading to increased costs and unreliable deliveries.
• Instability in the supply of electronic components and raw materials, causing delays in project completion and product delivery.

Mitigation Strategies

• Implemented a Supply Chain Resilience Improvement project (costing approximately €4 million) to adapt and redevelop hardware on two platforms, with multiple products per platform and multiple options for critical components per product.
• Shifted from a just-in-time to a long-term warehousing strategy for available components.
• Implemented measures to improve supply chain resilience, including diversification of suppliers and long-term contracts.
