In the last decade, this dedication has been well documented for the public through the environmental reports, which have been awarded numerous prizes, as well as the 1997 social report, one of the first of its kind in the machinery industry. The first Sulzer Sustainability Summary was published in 2004.

The next steps on the roadmap are planned. One important focus for our HR programs will be the improvement of the reliability and significance of the social indicators. Another focus will be on the safety performance where improvement programs have been started. Within environmental performance, we will concentrate on the energy consumption of products and production and on the reduction of chemicals.
