Our targets that support our commitment include:
ANDRITZ is committed to protecting biodiversity and addressing the impacts and dependencies of its operations on nature. We work to prevent deforestation across our entire value chain and actively engage with external stakeholders. We acknowledge that climate change is a major driver of biodiversity loss and take a connected, holistic approach to these challenges. Through our Decarbonization and Natural Resources focus areas, we tackle some of the main pressures contributing to biodiversity loss.
To guide our biodiversity efforts, ANDRITZ applies the mitigation hierarchy framework, emphasizing the avoidance and minimization of negative impacts wherever possible. We conduct assessments of biodiversity-related physical risks across all locations within our environmental reporting scope, using globally recognized tools such as ENCORE and IBAT to ensure robust and credible evaluations. In addition, our approach addresses transition risks by considering potential reputational and regulatory challenges linked to biodiversity. The insights from these assessments have been integrated into our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA).
To understand ANDRITZ’s dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems, we mapped our activities to ENCORE business processes at the asset level. This analysis examined how much the company relies on ecosystem services and how resilient those ecosystems are in continuing to provide them. Both the level of reliance and ecosystem resilience were assessed in line with the guidelines of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
As a global provider of advanced technologies and services, ANDRITZ is uniquely positioned to drive sustainable innovation. We promote responsible resource use across our value chain by embedding circular economy principles into operations, sourcing, and product design.
We apply life cycle thinking – from raw material selection and sourcing to end-of-life – using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to guide decision-making.
Our Sustainable Design Statement below outlines our commitment to minimizing environmental impact while supporting a more sustainable future.
ANDRITZ’s approach to sustainable design is based on the following principles:
We prioritize recycled, renewable, and responsibly sourced materials. We aim to reduce material variety for easier recycling and are committed to eliminating hazardous substances in line with RoHS, REACH and other relevant regulations.
Our products and processes are designed to minimize energy, water, and raw material use while reducing emissions and waste. We support renewable energy integration where feasible.
We design for long life, easy repair, and predictive maintenance – reducing the need for replacements and enhancing reliability. Our products are built to last, with typical lifespans of 10–40 years. We offer refurbishment and repair services to extend product life and reduce waste.
Our products and their components support disassembly, remanufacturing, reuse and recycling – enabling circular use and reducing environmental impact.
We prefer to using packaging materials that are reusable, recyclable and/or renewable, thereby minimizing environmental impact. Around 94% of our packaging is wood-based, and we prioritize certified sustainable packaging materials wherever possible.
Our 2030 social targets promote a safe, healthy, and inclusive environment that supports well‑being, diversity, and engagement to enable shared success.
Our 2030 governance targets focus on ethical conduct, responsible sourcing, and strong management systems that ensure accountability.
