Message from the AMANN board:
Dear readers,
The world is changing. Both the economy and society are facing existential challenges. We are already seeing the effects of advancing climate change and growing resource conflicts. As an international family-owned company, we are facing up to these challenges and are taking responsibility - ecologically, socially and economically. We see this not only as a duty, but also as an opportunity for our company to contribute to climate protection through successful and innovative solutions. We are firmly convinced that our long-term and value-orientated approach is the key to economic success. Our customers can be assured that they will continue to receive sewing threads of the highest quality in the future.
The past financial year was once again characterised by challenging geopolitical events, which also had an impact on our company. The world is changing rapidly, which is why it is all the more important to press ahead with the subject of sustainability in these times. In this respect, 2023 was a groundbreaking year for us. We created the AMANN Group's first corporate carbon footprint and derived ambitious climate protection targets from it in order to achieve the goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
We have set a milestone with the commissioning of our first production site in India: The plant is state-of-the-art and can produce almost climate neutrally. This standard will be the future for AMANN! And we are particularly proud that the plant has already been awarded with the CITI Textile Sustainability Award 2024 for ‘Best Sustainable Retail Practices’.
The commitment of our employees is crucial to the sustainable transformation of our company. Thanks to their commitment and support, we have achieved a lot so far. However, we also know that there is still a lot to do. We want to report transparently on our journey.
Courage and optimism are needed to drive positive change together. We are ready!
On behalf of all employees of the AMANN Group, we would like to thank you for your interest in our Sustainability Report 2023.
