These are just some of the many ways in which ZEISS is taking responsibility. As a foundation-owned company, ZEISS promotes scientific and technological progress, and campaigns for better living conditions worldwide. Whether in the interests of social and societal engagement, its employees, the environment, products and the value chain or integrity and compliance, responsible action has always been a top priority at ZEISS. The brand attribute "Responsible" embeds this topic in the brand and in the ZEISS strategy.
"With this move, sustainability has received greater importance in the ZEISS Group's strategic orientation," says Dr. Nicole Ziegler, Head of Sustainability at ZEISS. "Our aim is to embed sustainable action throughout the company, rendering it measurable and developing it further." Another ambitious goal the company set itself at the start of the new fiscal year is to achieve CO2 neutrality in its own activities by 2025. This supplements the company's existing goal of switching to green power by 2022.
The Sustainability Report for fiscal year 2019/20 demonstrates how ZEISS takes responsibility throughout its value chain and positions itself as future-ready in order to overcome the challenges ahead.
