Sustainability


Our daily commitment to a sustainable future

We believe in a future where technical and social progress go hand in hand with environmental protection. That’s why sustainability guides every aspect of our business. Discover how we are committed every day to reducing our environmental impact and being a socially responsible company.


Towards a sustainable future: our promise

Protecting the environment through conscious and concrete actions is a fundamental value for us. We recognize the importance of preserving natural resources and reducing environmental impact as essential responsibilities of our generation. Our primary goal remains the same: to create solutions for the needs of our customers and partners. Over the years, our approach has evolved: thanks to the use of innovative technologies, we enable our customers to reduce environmental pollution in their daily activities.

Innovation in the service of efficiency and sustainability

A fundamental part of our strategy is the development of machines that help our customers achieve efficient energy consumption and resource utilization. In this way, we make a tangible contribution to developing an industry that conserves resources and actively reduces CO₂ emissions.

Developing solutions that promote a more environmentally friendly economy is at the heart of our innovation efforts and a key to a sustainable future. For us, protecting the environment and its ecosystem goes beyond product development. We are committed to integrating sustainability principles into our daily operations:

Resource optimization

Our plants and production processes comply with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015, for which we have been certified since 2023, ensuring a systematic and efficient approach to resource management. The electricity used at our sites comes almost entirely from renewable sources. Currently, there remains a CO₂ emission of 0.53 t per year related to electricity consumption. We are committed to reaching 100%. We have not yet been able to eliminate other energy sources, such as diesel and gas. However, we continuously monitor our annual CO₂ emissions to reduce the current annual value of 6.4 t CO₂. When selecting materials for our products, we carefully evaluate their durability and recyclability.

Towards a greener supply chain

We work closely with our suppliers to promote eco-friendly practices throughout our supply chain, involving them in continuous improvement processes according to ISO 14001:2021 and ISO 9001:2015 standards.

Proactive approach

We take a proactive approach. In developing our products, we consider the entire life cycle to make them more sustainable, following the standards defined by EN ISO 14040:2021 in the analysis phase.

Integrated Management System

Our integrated management system represents these commitments: it helps define clear environmental goals, measure progress, and systematically implement sustainable initiatives. This system is regularly reviewed and refined to ensure a continuous reduction of our ecological footprint and the achievement of our environmental objectives.

We are guided by the latest European sustainability standards and are certified according to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, operating beyond the minimum regulatory requirements. Our commitment to sustainable development is an ongoing process that we pursue with the full innovative strength of WM technics. We believe that environmentally conscious actions and the use of advanced technologies reduce environmental impact and create long-term economic and social value.

Social responsibility: people-centric approach

Social and environmental sustainability guide our actions. We recognize the direct impact of our business decisions on everyone who interacts with us – from our employees to partners and the broader community. For this reason, we actively promote social justice, equal opportunities, and employee well-being.

Equal opportunities and respect for diversity are core values of our company, as explicitly stated in our corporate policy. In line with the international standards of ISO 45001:2018, we foster an inclusive work environment where everyone, regardless of gender, origin, age, or sexual orientation, is treated fairly and with respect.

Diversity that creates value

By embracing diversity and encouraging open dialogue, we create a creative and productive work environment that fosters the sharing of ideas and the development of innovative solutions.

Respect and professionalism

Fair and respectful interactions are the foundation of our company’s long-term success.

Optimal working conditions

We are committed to ensuring fair working conditions, balanced compensation, and a positive workplace environment.

Growth opportunities

We place great emphasis on offering all employees the chance to grow and contribute their skills.

Continuous training

Lifelong learning, open exchanges, and regular feedback discussions are key tools we use to support both personal and professional development. We promote the education of young talents through internships, apprenticeships, and trainee programs.

Commitment to the region and community

We value our responsibility toward the communities and society in which we operate.

We collaborate with social organizations and promote educational projects to contribute to our region's social and environmental growth. We believe that businesses can make a significant contribution to social well-being, whether through voluntary engagement, support for education, or the sustainable use of resources.

Social standards are an integral part of WM technics’ corporate ethics and fundamental to our long-term objectives. We continuously strive to improve the quality of life for our employees, partners, and the broader society, creating an environment where social responsibility and innovation go hand in hand. Together with our employees, we actively contribute to shaping a fairer, more sustainable, and livable future.

Charity

We actively support social causes by making donations to organizations that share our values, and regularly participating in their initiatives.

Partnerships with social organizations

We support various nonprofit initiatives, especially in the sports sector, to develop meaningful projects and create a positive impact on society.

Educational Projects

Our educational projects, which we develop and support, are designed to provide young people with new opportunities and promote a culture of sustainability.
