Summary
Study: "Sustainability - an opportunity for mechanical and plant engineering in Germany"
  • German mechanical engineering plays a central role in implementing the EU Green Deal - process innovation and efficiency are the key to this
  • Machinery and equipment have an impact on numerous dimensions of sustainability - from energy and water consumption to direct emissions
  • A survey of mechanical engineering companies shows: 95 percent attach increasing importance to sustainability for business success and 100 percent see it as an opportunity.

Circular economy resource management
The more people live on earth, the more raw materials are consumed. For a long time, products became waste at the end of life. It is much better to preserve the value of products and raw materials for as long as possible and to minimise waste, i.e. to initiate material cycles instead of "consuming" resources. That is the circular economy.
Sustainability Management
Whether climate protection targets, suitability for grandchildren or human rights due diligence obligations - sustainability is on everyone's lips and the expectations on companies to act responsibly are constantly increasing.
Green Deal
With the "Green Deal", the European Commission has presented a far-reaching program for more climate and environmental protection in the EU in 2019. The central goal is to become climate neutral by 2050, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% compared to 1990 emission levels and to further promote the circular economy in Europe.
Climate-Neutral Production
Companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector must also set out on the path to climate neutrality. The VDMA's "Climate-neutral production" initiative provides support.
