Arburg has been awarded a gold medal by Ecovadis for the third consecutive time. According to the company, the overall score rose from 78 to 83 points compared with the previous year, placing the machine manufacturer from Lossburg among the top two per cent of more than 100,000 companies evaluated worldwide. Ecovadis recognises performance across global supply chains and, based on the current result, Arburg is positioned in the two to five per cent bracket of the world’s most sustainable industrial companies that achieve this distinction. The assessment covers four areas: environment, sustainable procurement, ethics, and labour and human rights.
“We have been comprehensively addressing the issues of the environment and sustainability for decades. Despite all the current economic challenges, we remain committed to promoting sustainable technologies,” said Managing Partner Michael Hehl, who is responsible for plant development. “Last year, we again made significant progress and set ourselves ambitious goals for the future.” Managing Partner Global Marketing and Business Development Juliane Hehl added: “The arburgGREENworld programme brings together everything related to sustainability. This includes comprehensive activities for greater production and resource efficiency as well as circular economy. We publish the relevant figures, data and facts transparently in our comprehensive annual sustainability report on our website.”
As a European manufacturer of injection moulding machines, Arburg states that it has validated climate targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative. The company is pursuing goals to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions and has committed to achieving net‑zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Since 2021, as part of the Carbon Disclosure Project, Arburg has calculated its corporate carbon footprint and is classified with a “B” rating, which the company notes signifies above‑average performance in climate protection, ecology and CO2 emissions compared with other mechanical engineering companies. The complete sustainability report is available at arburg.com.
