Sustainability

Sustainability is firmly integrated into our corporate strategy as GX - Green Transformation and covers our entire value chain - from design, suppliers and production to customer use and recycling.

Through a variety of strategic measures, we are committed to make a positive contribution to people, society and environmental protection and to avoid negative effects of our business activities. Our sustainability strategy is based on the following principles:

  • systematically documenting specific sustainability key figures
  • sustainability as a part of our Executive Board remuneration and employee qualification
  • an integrated "Corporate Responsibility" approach

In 2024, we conducted a materiality analysis in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for the first time and determined the sustainability aspects relevant to us according to double materiality. From now on, we will review these annually and further develop our strategy with regard to these topics.

Responsibility for sustainability lies with the Management Board and is monitored by the Supervisory Board. Due to the increased importance and legal requirements, the “Sustainability & Business Development” team was founded in 2024. The team works closely with various departments to do justice to the diverse aspects of sustainability.

Some examples of our commitment:

Climate & Environment
Social Responsibility
Employees
Partner Management
Product Quality
Human Rights

DMG MORI assumes comprehensive responsibility for resources along the entire value chain: from our suppliers, our product development and production to machine operation at our customers' facilities and the overhaul or recycling of our machines. To this end, we pursue a 360° approach: our goal is a minimal climate and environmental footprint.

We optimize our processes, consistently reduce emissions and maximize the use of resources. We are committed to this with our energy and environmental policy.

Trust and cooperation are integral parts of our values and of our strategy. Social responsibility is therefore of great importance to DMG MORI and a focal point in our sustainability management. We are committed to society.

Many of our employees make voluntary contribution to society. We are happy to support them in doing so: In the reporting year our production plant DMG MORI in Pfronten was awarded the title “Volunteer-friendly company” by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, for example. A total of 150 employees – more than 10% – of DMG MORI Pfronten are engaged in voluntary work. Therefore, we free them from work: for emergency situations, but also for training and exercises during working hours. A flexible work organization and management of working hours facilitate voluntary work. There is an additional bonus system as a special incentive for members of the plant fire brigade.

DMG MORI AG supports projects in the fields of community, education, science, art, culture, sports and especially young talent. The focus of our social commitment is on our employees, young people, schools and universities, as well as non-profit organizations. 

Our employees are the key to our success. To master challenging times, we need their full commitment. With trust, transparency and passion, we achieve long-term and sustainable success together. In return, we offer secure and appealing jobs as well as comprehensive development and qualification opportunities.

Sustainability can only be achieved holistically and with partners. That is why we also attach great importance to compliance with environmental and social standards when selecting our partners and suppliers.

Quality is a basic prerequisite for sustainability and customer satisfaction. With our “First Quality” strategy, we create standards that far exceed legal requirements – good is not good enough for us. Because our goal is: 100% satisfied customers.
