From voluntary disclosure to strategic imperative
Sustainability reporting has evolved from voluntary environmental disclosures in the 1980s to a regulated and standardized practice across Europe. Diehl Metering has been a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2021 and publishes its Communication on Progress (COP) annually. The 2022 report marked our first full sustainability publication, and the 2024 edition expands transparency across both ESG and IMS dimensions—reinforcing our commitment to responsible business, even as regulatory frameworks continue to evolve.
Why does it matter to customers and partners?
Sustainability is now a competitive advantage: 92% of consumers trust brands that are socially responsible (source BusinessDasher survey), and 55% prefer eco-friendly products. These insights highlight how sustainability is not just a corporate value, it’s a business imperative.
The 2024 Sustainability & IMS report offers customers and partners greater transparency, reinforces compliance with global standards, and reflects a shared commitment to shaping a more sustainable future. It goes beyond financial metrics to demonstrate how responsible innovation builds long-term trust and responds to rising expectations for corporate accountability across Europe and beyond.
