The most sustainable product is one that does not have to be replaced. Our contribution begins with what we have always done: designing controllers and computers that run for decades, supplying them for as long as our customers need them, and repairing them when they fail.
We identified our material issues in 2022 through discussions with customers, investors and employees, and review them with the Board every year. Our targets are part of the medium-term management plan MTP 2027.
