Sustainability is integral to our business strategy. We are committed to implementing sustainable practices across our operations and developing innovative solutions that enable our customers to achieve greater efficiency and productivity.

Bystronic’s laser cutting systems are both intelligent and eco-friendly. Introducing the Intelligent Cutting Process (ICP), a groundbreaking feature where a coaxial camera peers through the fiber laser cutter’s nozzle, providing real-time visual access to the cutting operation.

Decarbonization

Since the beginning of our sustainability journey, Bystronic has improved the energy efficiency of its manufacturing processes, increased the electrification of fleet vehicles, and sourced renewable energy to heat buildings, plants, and sites worldwide.

Given the frequent travel demands of our service and sales teams, we are transitioning to an entirely electric fleet, which can be conveniently charged at our locations.

Managing Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities

Climate-related risks and opportunities are included within Bystronic’s overall risk management framework. This process involves identifying and assessing risks at the Group level. It is conducted through interviews with experts and leaders and is overseen by the Internal Audit and Legal Departments every year. In 2023, this process included approximately 20 members from the Group’s Executive Committee and Board of Directors. Equally important is the biennial materiality assessment, a crucial part of our risk management, which informs and involves stakeholders in identifying and prioritizing material ESG issues.

The rooftops of our Bystronic headquarters in Switzerland are equipped with photovoltaic systems, which significantly contribute to powering our production operations.
