We act resolutely for climate and nature, people and lasting values. We bundle our global sustainability activities under the motto Acting now. Sustainability@ZF.

Our Commitment

How ZF Thinks and Acts Sustainably

Sustainability is an integral part of ZF Group strategy. Its targets include complete climate neutrality by 2040. However, sustainability means far more to us than climate protection. In addition to climate and nature, we focus on the dimensions of people and lasting values.

Our Responsibility

Climate and Nature

  • Climate Action
  • Sustainable, circular products and operations
  • Acting for climate and nature

People

  • Employee development an diversity
  • Keeping people safe
  • Human rights and working conditions
  • Acting for all people

Lasting Values

  • Responsible behaviour across the business
  • Long-term value creation and resilience
  • Acting for lasting values

Sustainable Goals

The United Nations has defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are political targets that serve sustainable development worldwide on an economic, social and ecological level. ZF has identified eight of these targets to which the company is able to make a relevant contribution. This means either through minimizing consequences or by developing new technical solutions with positive effects. Our focus is on climate and nature, people and lasting values.

Sustainability Worldwide

As a globally active technology company, we take on responsibility along our entire value chain – for our employees and our locations, as well as in our supply chain and for our products. Thanks to intensive and focused investment in research and development, ZF promotes the topic of sustainable mobility in general.

“Product development, purchasing and production must interact perfectly”
