MAPAL publishes sustainability report for the year 2023

How is my company doing when it comes to sustainability? A question that’s sure to concern some employees. Particularly as companies with over 500 employees in the European Union (EU) will sooner or later need to provide a sustainability report. In principle, this is about creating transparency on internal developments in areas such as the environment, product durability, and in relation to human resources. This reporting obligation is derived from the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

MAPAL Dr. Kress KG published a sustainability report for the reporting year 2023. In addition to the focus on stakeholders – i.e. employees and management – as well as owners, clients and suppliers, the report also looks at MAPAL’s products and value chain. The group works closely with customers to develop innovative solutions that enable increases in efficiency, cost reductions and precise results, which make a lasting impact. 
 

In matters regarding sustainable company management, MAPAL combines economic success with environmental and social responsibility. As a leader in precision toolmaking technology, MAPAL draws on resource-saving processes and energy-efficient solutions. With a clear sustainability strategy, the company has set itself the target of continually improving in all relevant areas. Transparency and regular reporting document progress that is systematically recorded and published in accordance with international standards. Through close collaboration with partners and suppliers, MAPAL ensures compliance with environmental and ethical standards along the value chain.

This has allowed the company to reduce its environmental footprint significantly in recent years using innovative manufacturing technologies, renewable energies and optimised logistics processes. The integration of principles of the circular economy and sustainable materials ensures efficient use of commodities and significant waste reduction. Modern production processes help reduce water consumption across the entire company dramatically and protect valuable resources.
 

MAPAL is aware of its social responsibility – to employees and to society. For the company, employees are the driving force of innovation and success. In terms of employee motivation – further education, training options and targeted development programmes open up long-term career opportunities and boost professional expertise. The open company culture and promotion of diversity contribute to a fair and respectful working environment. In matters of social responsibility, MAPAL supports numerous social projects, educational initiatives and non-profit organisations. Donations regularly flow to regional organisations that focus in particular on the well-being of children, people in need, and those less well off in society.

At MAPAL, sustainability is seen as a long-term commitment. The focus will continue to be on forward-looking technologies, resource-saving production methods and social responsibility in future. The coming years will be characterised by further innovations aimed at actively helping shape the shift to a sustainable industry.
