Sustainability - Sustainability Stage 16:6

Taking responsibility at Dräger

For us, our guiding principle of Technology for Life means taking responsibility. It gives greater meaning to the work we carry out and creates a sustainable foundation for our business model. We are concentrating our efforts on Environment & Society, Customers & Products and Company & Employees, with our goal to continue improving in these areas. Without social and environmental sustainability throughout all aspects of our supply chains, we are certain that no lasting economic progress will be achieved – and vice versa.

Recognition of our sustainability performance

Sustainability and responsible corporate management are key approaches at Dräger. An ESG rating indicates how well a company is performing in terms of the environment, society, and governance.

We are delighted to have been awarded “Silver” status by the EcoVadis Institute following an audit in 2024, with our company receiving a total of 72 out of 100 points.
