Sustainability at Hilti

The Hilti Group is amplifying its sustainability efforts and formulating a global strategy based on the three pillars of environment, people and society. The company's new sustainability report provides transparency on the targets established and progress made. 

In view of the increasing challenges posed by climate change, and in the course of meeting its social responsibilities, the Hilti Group has tightened up the targets initially established in its sustainability strategy and launched a number of global and local initiatives. The program is based on a holistic understanding of sustainability that incorporates the strategic action fields of "environment," "people" and "society.” Organizationally, the strategy is anchored by the Hilti Group’s Executive Board. A sustainability team, which reports directly to the CEO, manages the global initiatives and presents progress and further optimization potential in the annual sustainability report.

“We are convinced that long-term success is only secured through business decisions that value environmental, people and social aspects equally with economic factors,” said Christoph Loos, CEO of the Hilti Group. “We are aware that this is a journey with several stations still ahead of us, but we have set ourselves ambitious goals and will leave no stone unturned. At the same time, we also want to support our customers in the construction industry in becoming more sustainable.”

Hilti Foundation and Hilti Group strengthen social engagement

In order to make a more significant contribution to solving the world's social problems, the Hilti Group and the Hilti Foundation will dovetail their activities even more closely in the future. The social projects driven by the Foundation, with a particular focus on developing countries, will be supplemented by the initiatives of Hilti team members in their own countries. To this end, the global volunteer program Engaged Beyond Business has been created, with the intention to dedicate a portion of business sales to various local projects in which Hilti employees are socially engaged.

“Caring for people and the environment are essential qualities of Hilti’s corporate culture lived by employees around the world every day. We are looking forward to working even closer with the Hilti Group in order to elevate social impact to new levels together” said CEO of the Hilti Foundation, Werner Wallner
