ZEISS will focus on three strategic topics in the coming years and regards them as a major lever for changes. "Climate protection, the circular economy and added value for society are the strategic priorities that we will be driving worldwide together with the segments and other business functions," says Ziegler.
ZEISS has already made great progress overall in reducing the use of resources and achieved the reduction targets (in relation to value added) set so far for energy and water consumption as well as waste generation in fiscal year 2019/20. In order to keep increasing resource efficiency, ZEISS continues to work on reducing its consumption and emissions to counter the negative impact on the environment and our climate. To do this, the company set itself new environmental targets with regard to water, waste, energy and CO₂ emissions that it aims to achieve by fiscal year 2024/25.
