ENDRESS+HAUSER ACHIEVES PLATINUM SUSTAINABILITY STATUS
ndress+Hauser once again scored 76 out of a possible 100 points in the EcoVadis sustainability audit. The Group was thus able to maintain its top position from last year and continues to rank among the top percent of comparable companies. With the total number of points, Endress+Hauser was also

awarded platinum status for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in 2022. “Our sustainability journey naturally continues. Platinum status demonstrates that we are on the right path,” commented Matthias Altendorf, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group. In order to satisfy the growing requirements of sustainability into the
future, Endress+Hauser created the new position of corporate social responsibility officer, a role assumed by Julia Schempp in April of this year. She is responsible for overseeing the Group’s sustainability strategy and for driving concepts, initiatives and activities aimed at improvements in ecological, ethical and social areas. Plans are in place to define a Group-
wide CO2 target by the end of this year. Work is also underway to develop further CSR metrics for the entire Group.

achieved excellent results across all areas of the EcoVadis benchmark. “We value the feedback from the EcoVadis experts and take the recommended improvements outlined in the detailed evaluation very seriously,” said Schempp. The report underscored highly positive sustainability performance in the areas of environmental and work standards and human rights. “We can maintain our position in the benchmark only through continuous improvements.” Sustainability is increasingly becoming a business factor. “We
receive CSR-related inquiries nearly every day from our customers and partners,” said Gerd Gritsch, corporate director quality at Endress+Hauser, who added: “Given that we help our customers to produce sustainably, we have to set a good example with our own business and production processes.” At the Reinach location, employees in a working group regularly seek out new approaches to sustainability. One of the ideas was the establishment of two bee colonies on the roof of the building. The issue of sustainability is also of importance to growing numbers of
employees. During the construction of a new office and production building in Reinach, Endress+Hauser focused on environmental and climate protection. The design included input and suggestions from employees who are part of a working group that searches for new approaches to sustainability. Among the ideas was the establishment of two bee colonies on the roof of the building. A hobby beekeeper, who is also an employee of Endress+Hauser, looks after the insects; the first batch of honey has already been harvested.

Metasphere is supporting is The Rivers Trust. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face today
W
and we all have a responsibility to help protect our world and our water supply for the future. For utilities this environmental driver has seen a goal to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Metasphere developed ART Sewer to help utilities achieve their net zero ambitions. ART Sewer’s objective is to help wastewater utilities prevent wastewater spills, thereby reducing pollution to keep the natural environment clean and protected. The ART Sewer Wastewater Level Monitoring solution achieves this objective by enabling wastewater utilities to proactively manage flow in sewers, pumping stations, manholes and Combined Sewer Overflows, detect dry weather and partial sewer blockages, as well as monitor and prevent flooding events. Since ART Sewer’s launch in January 2021, this revolutionary
Wastewater Level Monitoring solution has been selected by a number of utilities as part of their strategic Wastewater network management initiatives. The technology has also been recognised with several industry awards. The ART Sewer really highlights the shared goal of Metasphere and The Rivers Trust in protecting our watercourses for the future and underlines the motivation behind the company’s decision to support the charity at the IEAs. The Rivers Trust are conservation experts leading the movement to protect and improved our rivers. They work with their 65 member trusts to make the shared vision of wild, health, natural rivers, valued by all, a reality. Find out more about The Rivers Trust:
