Sustainability at MotionTech

In an interconnected world where trade and consumption know few borders, we expect a seamless flow of goods, data and effort. Still, too many businesses rely on manual processes across their supply chains. This reliance results in lower productivity, longer lead times, fewer or incorrect products on the shelves and worse conditions for workers and consumers alike. 

But when motion is fast, smart and sustainable, it powers businesses and progress. We envision a world where things flow in a planet-friendly way. That’s why we develop solutions that optimise operational efficiency while prioritising sustainability, helping our customers lower energy consumption, reduce waste, and extend the lifecycle of their automation systems. 

Sustainability in motion

Sustainability is about more than just reducing our impact on the environment. It also means setting new benchmarks in environmental and social responsibility as well as promoting ethical business practices. In 2025, we developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy with clear focus areas. All of these focus areas include activities and targets and are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We call our strategy Motion.

Optimise lifecycle value

Circularity and longevity are our core principles when we design products and systems. We work to implement lifecycle assessments and material passports that enable us to extend product lifecycles and maximise resource efficiency. Adding to this, we develop upgrade pathways that reduce waste and create long-term value for our customers.

Transform through digitalisation

Our aim is to use digitalisation to maximise operational efficiency while minimising resource consumption. By leveraging digital twin technology and advanced software, we can optimise environmental performance across automation systems. We develop data-driven solutions that provide real-time monitoring and enable continuous improvement of key sustainability metrics.
