GRAZ, AUGUST 27, 2025. International technology group ANDRITZ has received the gold medal from
EcoVadis, placing it among the top 5% of over 150,000 companies assessed worldwide for sustainability
performance. At the same time, ANDRITZ is setting new ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) targets
for 2030, having already surpassed most of its 2025 targets ahead of schedule.
EcoVadis recognized the quality of ANDRITZ’s sustainability management system and commitment to
transparency throughout its value chain. It particularly noted the company’s expanded climate
reporting to include scope 3 emissions and the validation of its climate targets by the Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi). These validated targets form an important part of ANDRITZ’s renewed
sustainability program running until 2030.
ANDRITZ CEO Joachim Schönbeck said, “Sustainability is at the heart of how we innovate, operate, and
grow. This recognition confirms our strategy and encourages us to further increase our efforts to
enable the green transition and contribute to a healthy, thriving environment for today’s and future
generations.”
The new targets are designed to align ANDRITZ with global climate goals, enhance employee well-being,
and ensure responsible governance. They focus on:
Enabling the green transition
ANDRITZ aims to provide innovative low-carbon and resource-efficient solutions to its customers and
reduce the environmental footprint of its own operations. KPIs track progress on climate protection,
water conservation, and waste minimization. Climate targets (approved by SBTi) include a 42%
reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in scope 3 emissions from 2023, in line with
the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal. The share of revenue from products enabling customers’ green
transition is to increase to over 50%.
At the end of 2024, scope 1 and 2 emissions had already been reduced by more than 50% from 2019 and
thus one year ahead of schedule. In the same period, water consumption had decreased by 14% and waste
volume by 36% – significantly more than the 10% target that ANDRITZ had set itself in both categories
for 2025.
Supporting people’s growth
ANDRITZ is committed to creating a safe and fair work environment that promotes equal opportunities
and personal development. Measures focus on increasing the representation of women in leadership
roles, reducing voluntary turnover, and enhancing employee engagement. Reducing work-related
accidents remains a top priority.
Governing with integrity
ANDRITZ upholds high ethical standards and responsible business practices throughout its operations
and value chain. The focus is on ensuring high sustainability standards among suppliers through
assessments, social audits, and external ESG ratings. In addition, ANDRITZ aims to expand
sustainability-related certification of its own operations.
An overview of the 2030 ANDRITZ ESG KPIs is provided in the table below.
