Over the past few months, KraussMaffei has collected data and surveyed sustainability activities at all its sites worldwide. Around 100 colleagues contributed to the 93-page report.
''For KraussMaffei, sustainability means not only an environmentally conscious attitude, but also responsibility in all areas of the company, towards our environment and as part of our society. Our sustainability report documents that we take our responsibility seriously and that our customers and partners can rely on a transparent and responsible partner with whom they can ensure sustainability in their own supply chain and fulfill legal requirements.'' Chi Zhang CEO KraussMaffei.

In a comprehensive analysis process, KraussMaffei defined and prioritized a total of 27 relevant topics and structured the report accordingly.
''Our first sustainability report covers the entire KraussMaffei Group as of 2023 with all our locations in 19 countries. As a manufacturing company, our focus is on human rights, supply chain due diligence, the circular economy and climate protection. KraussMaffei has defined strategic goals in these areas.'' - Dr. Alexandra Coffey Senior Manager Sustainability und Head of Corporate Communications.
For example, the company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its own business area by 2030 and carbon neutrality in the machines and systems it produces (product carbon footprint) by 2035.
There are also plans to expand the certification of sites in the areas of the environment and energy and to obtain ISO 50001 certification for the Parsdorf site by mid-2025.
