Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

The company has a comprehensive anti-corruption policy that explicitly rejects corruption, extortion, and bribery, including both active and passive forms. This policy is supported by mandatory employee training and internal controls such as the four-eyes principle and separation of functions. The company also uses a platform to assess its high-risk suppliers on various sustainability issues.

No War, No Weapons

Respect for Cultures & Communities

In 2022, the company's total sales were €4,314.1 million.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Dürr reported no waste disposal violations.

The company professionally collects, separates, and stores hazardous waste, with disposal handled by external companies.

Dürr integrates circular economy principles into product design, considering the entire product life cycle, repair capability, and longevity. The Supplier Code of Conduct requires compliance with environmental laws and standards, and Dürr actively works with suppliers to meet waste reduction and recyclability requirements. However, a Group-wide concept for taking back used machines is in development but not yet finalized for EU-wide application, meaning no products are currently covered. Furthermore, targets for waste reduction are not explicitly stated.
