Sustainability is firmly anchored within ZEISS DNA and the corporate strategy. As a future-oriented company, ZEISS sees challenges as an opportunity and integrates sustainable solutions into its business operations. The ZEISS Sustainability Report provides an overview of the activities and successes of fiscal year 2022/23.

Facts & figures

ZEISS has set itself ambitious goals: the company wants to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2025, reduce energy consumption by 20%, water consumption by 15% and the amount of waste by 10%. The figures for fiscal year 2022/23 indicate interim successes but are also an incentive to make continuous improvements here.

We are absolutely convinced that our economic success can only be achieved in the long term through sustainable value creation.
