Our approach to sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. We contribute to sustainable development through our offering of energy-efficient climate solutions. We ensure the sustainability of our business by setting ambitious goals, not only financial but also regarding emissions reduction, resource efficiency, diversity, safety, and ethical business practices.

Our main sustainability areas

Resource efficiency and environment

Munters aims to offer sustainable products, solutions, and services that enable our customers to improve their resource and energy efficiency. We strive for reduced emissions and a smaller climate footprint throughout our value chain.

People and society

Munters strive to operate in a just and inclusive way to continuously create engagement. Diversity gives us perspective and valuable insight. We work collaboratively to benefit our local communities.

Responsible business practices

Munters strive to be sustainable and profitable in order to create value for our stakeholders. We should be reliable and strengthen our relationships with all stakeholders by acting ethically. We require those we cooperate with to comply with the same ethical guidelines we follow.

We are accelerating our sustainability agenda

To accelerate our work in this area, we have committed to setting near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By committing to this important initiative, we will have our previously set targets for Scope 1 and 2 validated and set new targets for Scope 3.

Strategic targets for 2030:

Reduce CO2e emissions in Scope 1 and 2 to net zero
Reduce CO2e emissions in Scope 3 in line with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target
Have 30% women in the workforce and leadership positions
Have all our employees complete our Code of Conduct training at least every other year
Have all our major suppliers sign and comply with our Code of Conduct
Have an increasing number of customers sign and comply with our Code of Conduct

"Sustainability should be a part of everything we do. Acting ethically and taking social and environmental responsibility throughout our entire value chain is a must."

One guiding star for innovation is sustainability. My commitment to sustainability was a key factor in my decision to start working at Munters earlier this year. Our commitment is not just about creating innovative products; it is about shaping a future that is in line with our founder’s visionary spirit and our collective responsibility to the planet.

Wouter Claassens, Vice President FoodTech Americas

Munters overarching and most important strength is our application know-how. We help large and small companies to find the right solution for their needs and to understand how our installations can impact their businesses. By helping them to be more effective and profitable, we also made their businesses more sustainable. With the help of AI and intuitive software, every farmer and food producer can make better decisions.

Andrea Haag, Vice President Sustainability

Right now, we are mapping emissions across the entire value chain and having dialogues with both suppliers, customers, and partners to find new solutions in design, material choices, and energy and water use.
