Our sustainability strategy
Sustainability has been an integral part of our quality, environmental and energy policy for many years. We are guided by the proven triad of economy, ecology and social responsibility.
Since 2021, we have been systematically expanding our sustainability management system. An annual materiality analysis informs our strategic corporate goals. We take great care to seamlessly integrate our processes and documentation into the existing management system.
Our sustainability strategy is firmly anchored in our overall corporate strategy. In our latest sustainability report, we implemented the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for the first time. These standards enable even more precise and transparent reporting, in line with the increased requirements for comparability and disclosure.
We are proactively preparing for future legal requirements to ensure that our reporting consistently meets the highest standards. To provide transparent insight into our sustainability activities for our customers and partners, we are active on the Integrity Next platform. Interested parties can access comprehensive information there at any time.
Key topics
In order to ensure sustainable and future-proof business management, Neugart has integrated the identification and management of significant impacts, risks, and opportunities into its corporate strategy. These elements interact directly with the company's business model, significantly influencing its long-term profitability and competitiveness.
Environmental information
Energy consumption and energy mix
The energy consumption and energy intensity of Neugart Holding (consisting of Neugart Planetary Gearboxes Co. Ltd., Neugart GmbH, Neugart USA Corp.) are shown in the following chart. The calculation bases are based on recognized standards and ena ble transparent, consistent, and comparable presentation over the years. The development up to 2024 clearly shows that our measures to increase energy efficiency are working.
Greenhouse gas emissions – Scope 1 and 2
The greenhouse gas emissions of Neugart Holding are shown in the following table. They include both direct emissions from our own sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).
Efficiency that makes a difference –
for us and our customers
Neugart stands for resource-saving production processes and energy-efficient solutions. With our high-precision gearboxes, which offer maximum efficiency, we make an active contribution to saving energy – not only in our own company, but also for our customers worldwide.
In our day-to-day production, we consistently focus on the responsible use of energy and raw materials. Our certified environmental management system supports us in further developing sustainable procurement strategies and tapping into specific potential for the use of renewable energies.
Neugart GmbH
In addition to the consolidated data of Neugart Holding, we place particular emphasis on Neugart GmbH – our largest company and the central driving force within the group.
The specific key figures for Neugart GmbH are reported separately, as they contribute significantly to the overall development. The reference year is 2015 – a conscious decision, as target values were defined and measures derived at an early stage based on this year. This enabled us to reduce CO2 intensity by over 90% compared to 2015.
Our employees
Only those who invest in people can achieve true sustainability.
At Neugart, people are the focus – not as a resource, but as co-creators of our shared success. We see it as our responsibility to create an environment in which safety, appreciation, and personal development come together.
Occupational safety and health protection are part of our daily practice. With structured prevention programs and modern workplaces, we ensure a healthy working environment. Our compensation systems are fair, transparent, and competitive – supplemented by company pension plans and extensive social benefits.
Flexible working hours, mobile working, and support services such as childcare assistance enable our employees to better balance their professional and private lives. Because we are convinced that satisfied, well-balanced people achieve outstanding results.
"I really appreciate my job at Neugart because the proximity to my home allows me to have a good work-life balance. In addition, I am proud to be part of a company that focuses on sustainable thinking and action."
"Working at Neugart is more than just a job. Sustainability is actively lived out with conviction. For example, many colleagues utilize the Jobrad program sponsored by Neugart. Plant 3, which is currently under construction and has a photovoltaic system, also makes us partially self-sufficient and conserves resources."
Governance Information
Corporate culture
Our corporate governance and culture are much more than formal structures – they are the foundation of our daily actions and a key factor in our sustainable growth.
We stand for corporate governance that is legally compliant, environmentally conscious, and socially responsible. This not only ensures our economic success, but also builds trust among our employees, customers, and partners.
Our corporate culture is based on four strong values:
- Independence
- Ambition
- Appreciation
- Authenticity
These values not only shape our decisions—they determine how we lead, work together, and shape the future.
Our leadership principles are based directly on our corporate values. Together with our employees, we are constantly continuing to develop our leadership culture – transparent, approachable, and dialogueoriented.
Values are not just theory: we actively incorporate them into our everyday work. For example, through:
- Events such as summer parties and Christmas markets – for genuine team spirit
- Management principles that provide orientation and convey attitudes
- Flat hierarchies that promote personal responsibility and quick decisions
Social commitment
Our commitment to the community extends to the areas of sports, music, church and politics. Our managing partners are themselves active as volunteers and are very involved in social clubs and associations. We also organize Christmas parties and summer festivals for the entire workforce.
Political commitment
The management is represented on important committees of the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) and WVIB (Baden Industrial Association). The associations are consulted by the federal and state governments in the course of legislative procedures. This means that there is a certain possibility of exerting influence – at least with regard to the pragmatic feasibility of implementation in day-to-day operations.
News
In 2025, we will continue to drive forward our commitment to sustainability. With the successful implementation of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), we have laid a solid foundation for making our responsibility even more transparent.
A key highlight in 2025 will be the opening of our new Plant 3 at our Kippenheim site. The building is designed to be CO₂-neutral – a clear commitment to future-oriented industrial architecture. The concept is complemented by a modern photovoltaic system that covers a large part of our energy requirements directly on site and continues to improve our CO₂ balance.
We are continuously working to reduce our ecological footprint and harmonize our internal processes along clear, standardized reporting formats. After all, transparency creates trust – and at the same time strengthens our efficiency in dealing with growing regulatory complexity.
