Sustainability is deeply rooted in Sulzer’s vision and strategy. The corporation monitors economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainability with a tailored database and key performance indicators. New sites were added to the assessment, which covers now 89% of all Sulzer employees. In each of the three dimensions, improvements have been made. Findings show, for instance, that the occupational accident frequency rate was further reduced to 8 cases per million working hours (from 11 in 2007). This is in line with the corporation’s midterm aim to reduce the accident frequency rate to fewer than 5 cases per million working hours by 2010. For the ecological impact, energy consumption per net value added was reduced by 3% compared to the prior year.
