The competitive advantage of ESG

ESG standards are, and will continue to, drive the strategic agenda of the industrial manufacturing (IM) industry. IM companies are key suppliers to emissions-heavy sectors including the automotive, chemicals and energy industries, putting them under pressure from regulators and customers to make clear how they will reach net zero emissions throughout their value chain.

In this report, we compare the progress being made by 44 leading industrial manufacturing companies from Germany, Switzerland and Austria when it comes to reducing emissions and other environmental impacts in comparison with the results of our previous analysis from 2022.

Register now to find out about CO2e emissions, reduction targets and ESG investments, as well as specific CO2e reduction measures.
