Sustainability is not just a trend; it’s a key driver of value for our business.
At Ziegler, we’ve pinpointed five powerful reasons why sustainability is central to our strategy:
1. Meeting Customer Expectations
Our customers want partners who support their decarbonization goals. We strive to be that trusted ally by leading the way in innovative solutions and reducing carbon emissions throughout their supply chains.
2. Optimising Operations
Reducing carbon emissions, energy use, and absenteeism lowers our operational costs. This dual benefit is both economically and environmentally advantageous.
3. Regulatory Compliance
Staying compliant with regulations is critical. Governments and financial institutions require transparent sustainability reporting, emphasising long-term commitments to societal and environmental responsibilities as mandated by European Commission directives.
4. Attracting Investments
Investors and banks are increasingly considering sustainability in their decisions. Companies with robust sustainability strategies gain an edge in securing affordable capital. The European Commission mandates that banks offer better rates to companies making significant progress and higher rates to those lagging.
5. Enhancing Employer Branding
In today’s competitive job market, especially among younger generations and recent graduates, employees prefer companies with a clear purpose and a strong commitment to sustainability.
