About this report

Conclusion and forward-looking statement

Sustainability is not a separate initiative at Bystronic – it is integrated into strategy, operations, products, and culture. This report reflects our commitment to transparency and accountability. We acknowledge that the journey is ongoing, challenges remain, and continuous improvement is essential.

Key 2025 achievements

SBTi validation in April 2025 confirming near-term targets. The U.S. renewable transition contributes to ongoing emission reductions. Zero confirmed corruption incidents maintaining ethical conduct. Strong safety commitment with decreasing TRIR. Waste reduction target exceeded early.

Areas for acceleration

Employee engagement and satisfaction (eNPS down during CORE restructuring). Women in management advancement using improved measurement (job grades deployment). Supply chain sustainability deepening through expanded EcoVadis coverage and supplier capability building. Product LCA expansion to 100% of portfolio supporting customer reporting. Circular economy scaling through commercialization of refurbishment services.

We thank all stakeholders – employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and communities – for their support, collaboration, and constructive engagement. Together, we are helping shape a sustainable future for sheet metal and more.
