Sustainability calls for solutions

For a mechanical engineering company like LESER, sustainability means developing future-ready solutions and implementing them in a resource-efficient fashion. Objectives include reducing carbon emissions, maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing resource use, both on a local and international level.

Acting responsibly for the benefit of future generations is a matter of course for LESER, a company with a 200-year history. LESER is committed to the three pillars of sustainability, setting itself economic, ecological and social goals every fiscal year. Initiatives and projects in various divisions of the company ensure that our goals will be met and that our development is sustainable. In addition,  as a member of the UN Global Compact, LESER contributes to the 17 Sustainability Goals the United Nations want to achieve globally by the year 2030.

Further Development of the LESER Sustainability Report

As part of the European Green Deal adopted in 2019, the EU is expanding existing legislation and introducing new regulations. The aim is to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
One of these regulations is the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It legally requires certain companies to report on sustainability matters. The CSRD aims to strengthen the accountability, transparency and progress of European companies on key sustainability issues and to create closer links between financial and sustainability reporting.
Since 2023, LESER has prepared an internal sustainability report documenting the progress made and the achievement of sustainability targets during the completed financial year. Due to the legal requirements for sustainability reporting, a project team was established in 2024 to ensure the timely implementation of the reporting obligations.
However, with the so-called Omnibus proposal, the European Commission reduced the scope of companies subject to the CSRD in 2025 in order to reduce the administrative burden on European businesses. As a result, LESER is no longer subject to mandatory CSRD reporting requirements and will continue to gradually develop its internal sustainability report.
