As a globally operating and manufacturing company, we at WAGNER recognise our responsibility for the impact of our business activities on the environment and society. In a world of constant change, the challenges of social and environmental responsibility are taking on an increasingly central role.
We are convinced that sustainability is an important success factor for ongoing development. This is why sustainability is strategically embedded in our organisation.
In recent years, we have examined decisions from the perspective of sustainable development and implemented them accordingly. We follow the Cambridge Dictionary’s definition of sustainability:
"The idea that goods and services should be produced in ways that do not use resources that cannot be replaced and that do not damage the environment."
The focus on sustainability has also gained new significance in the company's strategy. In 2022, we developed and launched our comprehensive sustainability strategy within the company. In addition to our vision for sustainable development, the strategy includes our mission and three focus areas: Planet, Product, and People.
Our strategy not only forms the basis for responsible, entrepreneurial action, but also represents a key to securing our future viability and competitiveness. Aware of the global impact of our actions, we aim to achieve not only economic success but also a sustainable contribution to a healthy environment and social prosperity.
For WAGNER, sustainable development means a successful future for our customers, our employees, and the environment.

Planet
To reduce our environmental footprint, we focus on introducing sustainable initiatives such as decarbonising our processes and preserving biodiversity. As part of our decarbonisation efforts, we prioritise renewable energy – both for our own electricity generation through photovoltaic systems and for electricity procurement. We also invest in projects to increase energy efficiency regularly.
Product
Through innovative product solutions, we offer our customers (energy-) efficient solutions. We help to significantly reduce wear and tear and therefore waste. Products whose surfaces are coated with our technologies are more durable – a plus for both our customers and the environment.
People
We take our social responsibility as an employer seriously, investing in the well-being and development of our employees. Thanks to our initiatives, we are the employer of choice worldwide. Various awards and regular employee surveys confirm that we are on the right path.
To document and guide the holistic transformation of our company towards sustainability, various frameworks were developed and adopted with the management:
The company’s quality and sustainability policy was presented in 2023. This policy builds upon our existing quality policy and has been explicitly enhanced with environmental aspects.
Our global quality and sustainability policy is based on our five corporate values – Open, Cooperative, Progressive and, importantly, Responsible and Customer-centric.
Our quality and sustainability policy complies with ISO 9001 and 14001 requirements. Its implementation is therefore reviewed regularly, and our certificates confirm successful integration into our processes.
In line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), WAGNER will report on its sustainability activities from 2025 as per legal requirements. Our preparations are already well underway. For instance, we are introducing a new control system to reliably record and analyse sustainability indicators alongside all relevant financial indicators.
A cross-functional team of sustainability experts has been formed to support the implementation of CSRD requirements. Current topics are discussed at regular meetings, with ongoing support provided on sustainability issues.
An important aspect of sustainability is adherence to existing regulations. All relevant information is summarised in the Compliance section of our website:
