The ebm-papst materiality matrix shows that economic performance has top priority. After all, we can only invest significantly in sustainability if we are successful as a company. At the same time, these investments are essential in helping us remain competitive.
Focus on the environment and resources
Our focus is on environmental issues, such as energy and emissions. Our goal is to reduce CO₂e emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 to zero in the 2025/26 financial year and to push through measures such as the use of green electricity, minimizing the need to offset any remaining emissions. We are also intensifying our efforts in terms of compliance.
Our targeted communication initiatives in this area, such as our mission statement, raise awareness within our Group concerning the needs of human beings, the environment, and ethics. We also extend the relevance of these issues beyond the boundaries of our company by maintaining close contact with our suppliers, developing and implementing measures, and creating greater transparency throughout our supply chain.
In terms of products, our stakeholders prioritize the following topics: energy-efficient products, sustainable materials, and recyclable or repairable products. These aspects are key to pursuing the cradle-to-cradle approach, minimizing the use of raw materials, and improving recyclability.
We’re nothing without our people
Our values of efficiency, enthusiasm, and humanity form the healthy foundation of our ebm-papst People House. They will continue to shape our dealings with each other and our internal and external actions in the future. The professional training we offer students and trainees remains a core part of our efforts to recruit skilled workers. In addition to this, we also offer our employees a wide range of individual training and qualification measures.
By actively promoting diversity and inclusion, we create a pleasant and trusting working environment in which everyone can be who they are, while being motivated and empowered to contribute their individual strengths to our cause. As part of our ESG agenda, we initiate and implement a wide range of social projects at all our sites to support the regions in which we live and work.
The ebm-papst People House is our vision, and is the backbone of our company-specific and future-oriented global employee strategy, as well as the first ebm-papst sustainability report. All these findings form the basis for our sustainability mission statement and the first ebm-papst sustainability report.
