Sustainability at Sulzer

The commitment to sustainability has played an important role at Sulzer from the company’s beginnings in 1834. When we look back at our over 170-year history, we can see the foundation of what we now call sustainability. With this background and our commitment to always offering innovative technologies that help our customers, it is not surprising that sustainability at Sulzer is not a special program but simply part of our daily life.

All divisions operate in attractive markets and have high value-creation potential due to their leading market positions.

A sustainability database called SEED (Social, Economical, and Environmental Data) is the basis for the auditing and goal setting of Sulzer’s sustainability efforts. Sulzer uses SEED to collect, validate, and report internally and externally on sustainability data within the corporation. The data set, which contains key indicators for environmental, health, safety, quality, and social issues, is continually improved and updated to help Sulzer appropriately assess its performance as well as to meet the needs of external stakeholders and reporting criteria.
