Oerlikon focuses in particular on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas in which it can make the greatest impact.
In 2021, Oerlikon published its first sustainability report, disclosing its existing ESG activities and its ambitious 2030 targets. Since then, Oerlikon has been reporting annually on its sustainability actions, programs and progress toward its targets, as well as providing examples of efficient and sustainable innovation for customers. Detailed information can be found in its sustainability reports, according to the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards.
