Sustainability report 2024

We are delighted to present our fourth Sustainability Report. This document is not just a collection of data, but a testimony to our collective commitment and to the progress we have achieved together, in social, economic and environmental terms.

2024 was a particularly complex year. However, with your trust and support we have been able to maintain a sound economic performance in the industrial automation sector. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you customers, suppliers, employees and partners of the Industrial Innovation Lab.

Every achievement is the result of teamwork and we are proud to have such extraordinary people at our side.

Sustainability strategy

In SEW-EURODRIVE Italy, sustainability is fully integrated into our business strategy.

As a result of a materiality analysis and an impact assessment with our internal and external stakeholders, seven material topics emerged:

+ Health and safety at work

+ Adapting to climate change

+ Combat climate change (reducing consumption and emissions)

+ Enhancing skills and wellbeing

+ Increase circularity

+ Servitization

+ Economic performance/Market presence

Three macro-pillars:

icon-ambientale

ENVIRONMENTAL

By late 2026, we intend to reduce and offset Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions generated, to achieve the Carbon Neutral target as scheduled by the parent company. By the end of 2030: reduce and offset Scope 1, 2, 3 greenhouse gas emissions.

icon-economico

ECONOMIC

Increasing low-emission solutions and products, increasing the related business and extending our sales markets.
Focusing on products and services that enable the sustainability of the company's customers.
Increasing service and monitoring services to enable predictive and preventive maintenance services for customers.

icon-sociale

PEOPLE

By 2030, against an overall headcount growth of 30%, which is expected to bring the company to around 300 employees, we intend to reach a 35% share of women in the company and a 25% share of under 35s, a GPTW Trust Index of at least 80%, and 100% awareness among the company population of their DISC© profile, as well as to close the gender pay gap.

Stakeholder

One of the key elements of Industry 5.0 is the concept of ‘ecosystem’, which constitutes an evolution of Industry 4.0. The shift from competitive to collaborative models is crucial to meeting today's challenges.

In line with this strategic vision and our Balanced ScoreCard (BSC), this year we remapped our strategic stakeholders, dividing them into three ecosystems:

  • Innovation ecosystem
  • Business ecosystem
  • Social ecosystem

This classification enabled us to identify 119 stakeholders, up from 98 in 2023 and 56 in 2022, confirming our ongoing commitment to strengthening stakeholder engagement.
