The recently released third Sustainability Report with information from 2021 and 2022 provides up-to-date facts and figures on Arburg, its values and sustainability activities. Promoting resource efficiency, a reduced carbon footprint and circular economy are the main goals of the company’s sustainability strategy.

In its Sustainability Report 2022, Arburg provides annual information regarding the values of this family company employing around 3,600 people worldwide and the extent to which it acts and operates sustainably in all relevant areas over the long term.

The Sustainability Report is a component of the Arburg-Green-World program, in which the company has enshrined sustainability through resource efficiency, a reduced carbon footprint and circular economy as important goals. These activities already go back more than ten years. As early as 2012, Arburg was one of the first companies ever to be triple certified in terms of quality, environment and energy. Environmental protection, resource conservation and efficiency have been an integral part of the corporate philosophy for decades. Energy-efficient construction is just as much a part of the portfolio as sustainable manufacturing processes. Other contributing factors include central production at a location with a high proportion of in-house manufacturing and short supply chains, production-efficient machine technology, and the digital products and services making up the Arburg-X-world program.

An important goal of Arburg is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint in plastics processing through sustainable production and products. Returning plastic sensibly to the cycle is only possible if it is separated by type. Here, Arburg is living up to its claim of combining sustainability and production efficiency through high-quality technology solutions. Reducing emissions, putting finances to good use for the company and its employees and understanding digitalisation as sustainability are further central concepts that the company has been incorporating into its activities for some time now. The new Sustainability Report 2022 also has a lot to say about this. One example is sustainable construction: in all the assembly halls built during the last few years, the machine engineering company uses heat recovery to harness the energy input and can therefore heat the buildings in a virtually cost- and carbon-neutral manner. The use of photovoltaics and geothermal energy also enables sustainable energy management. By installing additional photovoltaic systems on the Arburg multi-storey car park in Lossburg and integrating the two wind turbines into the energy generation system, the company is expanding and intensifying its sustainable energy production even more.

The conceptual basis of the Sustainability Report is the State of Baden-Württemberg's WIN Charter sustainability management system. It consists of twelve statements that address, among other topics, human and labour rights, employee well-being, resources, energy and emissions, product responsibility as well as anti-corruption measures.
