Sustainability means meeting our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It means managing natural, economic, and social resources to create additional value for our stakeholders and long-term resilience for our business.
ESG stands for Environment, Social & Governance. KAEFER’s comprehensive ESG strategy defines our sustainability vision, sets out KPIs and targets, and drives initiatives which make a difference. Ensuring that sustainability is part of management as well as operational processes, an ESG-based approach makes it possible for us to exceed applicable standards, achieve commercial success, and pursue meaningful environmental, social and ethical improvements.
It also helps us meet the requirements of key stakeholders, including employees, clients, investors, and suppliers.
As the first industrial services provider in our market, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved both KAEFER SE & Co. KG’s near-term science-based emissions reduction targets and our science-based net-zero target by 2050. This commitment obliges us to pursue our emission reduction targets in line with current climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This achievement is more than just recognition – it’s a commitment to a sustainable future and a promise to remain accountable to science.
