Once Again Honored with the ESG Transparency Award

Klüber Lubrication Achieves a New Record with 87 Percent for its Sustainability Report

Klüber Lubrication has once again been recognized with the ESG Transparency Award in the ‘Excellence’ category by the renowned organization EUPD Research. The award acknowledges the outstanding transparency and quality of Klüber's sustainability and responsibility reporting. The ESG Transparency Award honors businesses that have already integrated forward-looking sustainability practices and communicate them clearly through their reporting.

“This renewed top rating underscores that our report offers customers a comprehensive ESG overview at the highest level,” said Markus Hermann, Sustainability Manager at Klüber Lubrication Group. “Compared to last year, we have even improved our score by an impressive nine points, reaching 87 percent. This positions Klüber among the leading companies that recognize the value of transparent sustainability reporting as a basis for collaboration with customers, employees, and other stakeholders. For us, as a company dedicated to being part of the solution to sustainability challenges, this recognition is highly significant.”

Sustainability as the Core of Innovation and Responsibility
In its latest sustainability report, Klüber Lubrication outlines how the company combines environmental and social responsibility with technological excellence. Key topics include reducing the company’s carbon footprint, ensuring safe working conditions, and upholding ethical standards throughout the supply chain.

Through its sustainability strategy, Klüber Lubrication not only continuously reduces its ecological footprint but also amplifies its even more significant handprint: the company’s products and services enable customers to achieve substantial improvements in their own sustainability efforts, as outlined in the magazine section of the report. For example, Klüber's energy efficiency solutions enable customers to achieve energy savings of up to 8 percent. Additionally, systematic Sustainability Product Portfolio Management ensures a continuous expansion of the company’s range of sustainable outperformer products.

In their assessment, EUPD Research emphasized: “The evaluation of your ESG reporting demonstrates that your organization recognizes the importance of a sustainable corporate strategy and consistently addresses the needs and expectations for transparent communication of your sustainability approach.”

The award certificate was presented on December 11, 2024, in Petersberg. The ceremony was part of the European Sustainability Week and was held in conjunction with the ESG Summit “Paths towards Reporting, Transparency & Innovation.”
