Better Health for All

DMG MORI AG's core business of manufacturing machine tools has no direct positive or negative health impact, as these products are neutral in terms of health outcomes. Consequently, the company generates no revenue from products with direct negative health impacts.

While the company implements internal health data management, including longitudinal analyses of medical checkup data for nearly 3,000 employees and measures against cyber-attacks on customer machines, this does not constitute collecting or managing health-related data in the context of the KPI, which refers to external health data. Similarly, internal mental health support for employees, such as webinars for managers on mental health and a focus on a positive work environment, falls under employee wellness rather than broader mental health initiatives. The company's preventative health measures, including surveys, e-Learning videos on lifestyle diseases, and a smoking ban on premises since January 2020, are focused on employee health, not external preventative health measures. Lastly, health education initiatives like a Health Information website, e-Learning videos, and an in-house library are for employees, not public health education.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

DMG MORI AG is a machine tool manufacturer that offers financing for its products.

However, the provided articles, including annual reports, explicitly state that no data is available for any of the key performance indicators related to Fair Money & Economic Opportunity. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In 2024, 67% of the workforce was covered by collective bargaining agreements.

The company's overall employee turnover rate was 9.4% in 2023. In 2023, Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) added DMG Mori to its list of international sponsors of war. DMG Mori USA Inc. had a proposed settlement of $825,000 for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). In late 2024, DMG Mori facilities in Germany participated in IG Metall-organized warning strikes. In 2023, DMG MORI AG paid a compensatory levy of €123,000 for the non-employment of severely disabled people.

Honest & Fair Business

The company has a formal whistleblower protection policy, including a 24/7 anonymous global compliance helpline available in multiple languages, with a no-retaliation policy and follow-up mechanisms.

An external lawyer served as an ombudsman until April 30, 2024, and a global compliance helpline became available from May 1, 2024. Feedback to whistleblowers is provided within three months. PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH issued unqualified audit opinions for business reports and financial statements, and an assurance report on the Group Sustainability Statement. No conflicts of interest were reported for Supervisory Board members in the reporting year, and the board complies with the 50% independence requirement. The company has a 'Conduct on the market' guideline for antitrust regulations, a compliance management system, and integrity checks for potential dealers/intermediaries, with a Chief Compliance Officer overseeing compliance. It also has anti-corruption training and due diligence processes for third parties. Production plants hold ISO 9001 certification and information security holds ISO 27001.

No War, No Weapons

DMG MORI ceased operations in Russia in spring 2022 and states it has not supplied machines or components to Russia after February 24, 2022.

However, an internal investigation in fall 2023 revealed former employees sold 122 machines produced in Russia without management's knowledge after the production stop. Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention included DMG MORI in its list of international war sponsors in 2022. The company's Ulyanovsk plant was expropriated by the Russian government in February 2024. Defence Intelligence of Ukraine identified 148 German-made DMG Mori Seiki machines at Russian weapons plants. While DMG MORI implemented GPS-based relocation detection devices on all machines from its factories by 2023 and cancelled approximately 8 billion yen in orders in FY2023 due to customers refusing these devices, the unauthorized sales and presence of machines at weapons plants indicate a failure in export control and end-user verification. The company acknowledges being a manufacturer of dual-use goods and confirms customers plan to utilize machines only for civil use, but the actual use of its machines at Russian weapons plants contradicts this. The Export Control Committee, consisting of all board members and chaired by the President & Representative Director, exists, but the unauthorized sales suggest a lack of effective oversight. The company performs customer background investigations and the Internal Audit Department audits export controls, but no public war-risk audit results are available. DMG MORI states it ceased all business activities in Russia, but the unauthorized sales and expropriation indicate an incomplete or ineffective divestment.

The company has also set company-wide waste reduction targets, though specific details on these targets are not provided.
