The Wittur Group announces the publication of its 2022 Sustainability Report, confirming Wittur’s sustainability strategy and its commitment to sustainable growth, social responsibility and actions for environmental protection.
Sustainability is a key driver for the improvement of the whole industry worldwide and it is already revolutionizing the way everything is produced and managed during the entire product life cycle.
The elevator industry is part of this epoch-making change. Wittur, as one of the biggest independent suppliers of elevator components is one of the main contributors to the success of most elevator companies worldwide. Wittur is part of their value chain and is committed to support all its customers and all elevator industry stakeholders in their ESG endeavors.
Wittur’s sustainability journey started more than 10 years ago and is driven by the Executive Management Team. Wittur roadmap establishes a clear framework for actions on strategic priorities that capture Wittur’s prioritized topics on ESG.
The 2022 Wittur Sustainability Report follows the GRI reporting guidelines; the key targets are based on the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations and consistent with actions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C according to Paris agreement.
Additional sections of the 2022 report:
Wittur Group Chief Executive Officer Tom Stephenson points out that “Our commitment to sustainability is pivotal to the long-term success of our company. We continue to develop and refine ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) strategies that aim to improve the impact of our global operations and make a tangible contribution to shape a better world for future generations. Whilst we have always been engaged in this area, we started to formally benchmark ourselves in 2021 when we issued our first Sustainability Report.
We also asked Ecovadis, the leading provider of company sustainability benchmarking to assess our performance. Last year Wittur achieved a bronze rating. I am delighted to say that in 2023 we have achieved a silver rating – which reflects 12 months’ worth of hard work across all of our Wittur sites. It is a fantastic achievement and a real sign of continual improvement, which is evident from the second edition of our Sustainability Report. We continue our journey to create long term value for our customers, suppliers, employees, families and communities”.
Wittur Group Sustainability & Quality Director Vincenzo Bruno remarks that “the approach to Sustainability continues to bring tangible improvements in all our processes, true to the spirit of the Wittur value Protecting People and Environment. I am pleased that Wittur has also obtained the Silver Medal 2023 recognition from EcoVadis for its sustainability performance”.
Wittur Group Sustainability Manager Ayperi Sevincli states that “since the publication of the first Wittur Sustainability report in 2021, Wittur is continuously deploying ESG initiatives and projects to hit our 2030 targets in all Wittur sites. The 2022 Sustainability Report collects some of them and further demonstrates our commitment at Group Level”.
