Sustainability at KAMAT: Taking Responsibility for the Future

ZNU Certification: Sustainability with a System
At KAMAT, sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a living corporate practice. Since 2025, the company has been certified according to the recognised ZNU standard ‘Sustainable Management’. This standard considers ecological, economic and social aspects equally and thus makes sustainable action measurable, comparable and continuously developable.
The certification supports us in integrating sustainability into all areas of the company in a structured manner. From resource-saving production and fair working conditions to responsible corporate governance.
It is particularly important that the ZNU standard not only requires a one-time audit, but also verifiable progress on an annual basis. This ensures that our commitment has a long-term impact – for our customers, employees, partners and the environment.
Taking responsibility. Shaping the future. Systematically.
As a mechanical engineering company, we take responsibility for shaping a sustainable future – environmentally, economically, and socially. Our sustainability strategy is based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focuses on measurable, long-term progress. Here are selected objectives that reflect our commitment to climate protection, quality, and workforce development.
In the course of further developing our management system, we have reviewed and sharpened our sustainability goals – with the aim of making their achievement even more measurable and traceable. This does not mean that existing objectives lose importance: they remain part of our sustainability activities and consistently pursued
Environment – SDG 13 (Climate Action)
Our goal: We will reduce our direct emissions (Scope 1) per employee by around 15% by the end of 2030 compared with the 2025 base year.
As a mechanical engineering company, our direct COâ‚‚ emissions arise primarily from the energy used in our buildings and from our vehicle fleet. Reducing Scope 1 emissions per employee helps us to use resources more efficiently, lower fuel and energy costs, and make an active contribution to climate protection.
We are implementing the following measures:
- Reducing heat loss at the factory hall doors
- Optimising heating operation
- Training employees to raise awareness and ensure optimal use of heat
- Training all field staff in resource-efficient driving
| Â | 2025 (base year) | 2026 | 2030 (target) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 emissions per employee | 1.48 t CO₂e/employee | – | 1.26 t CO₂e/employee |
Economy – SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production)
Our goal: We will increase the share of assessed suppliers with documented sustainability measures to 65% by 2030.
We maintain a close, long-term cooperation with our suppliers. As sustainability also plays an important role in the supply chain, we want to continuously increase the share of suppliers with demonstrable sustainability efforts. We promote this in particular through regular dialogue and close cooperation with our suppliers, in order to advance sustainability together along the value chain.
We are implementing the following measures:
- Expanding supplier assessments and audits to include detailed sustainability criteria
- Regular supplier audits, including a review of sustainability efforts
- Integrating sustainability into our purchasing policy
- Active dialogue with suppliers on the topic of sustainability
| Â | 2025 (base year) | 2026 | 2030 (target) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share of suppliers with documented sustainability measures | 48% | – | 65% |
Social – SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being)
Our goal: We aim to ensure that 60% of our employees use more than 40% of the employee offerings.
Our employees are an essential part of KAMAT’s success. To further increase their satisfaction, we are optimising our employee offerings, among other things, so that their average usage increases. The 2025 employee survey serves as the base year.
We are implementing the following measures:
- Regular review of usage through employee surveys
- Adapting the offerings based on survey results
- Improved internal communication about the employee offerings
| Â | 2025 (base year) | 2026 | 2030 (target) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share of employees using more than 40% of the employee offerings | 53% | – | 60% |
