Our mission

Sustainability in all its dimensions is a crucial topic for us at HENSOLDT. Besides minimizing our ecological footprint, this means living a culture of integrity as well as fostering our employees and local communities. And last, but not least, it also includes the protection of nations and societies with our innovative sensor solutions.

Our impact-driven ambition to a more sustainable defense is “Detect & Protect” tomorrow.

Our sustainability strategy

Our new sustainability strategy at HENSOLDT is based on three essential dimensions: Environmental responsibility ("E”), Social responsibility ("S"), and Governance responsibility ("G").

These three dimensions are concretized through five strategic pillars to ensure that we act comprehensively: Planet & resources, own workforce, supplier, customer and business integrity.

“The new sustainability strategy is not only an essential step but a fundamental responsibility that we bear as a company. In a time when economic success without caring for the environment and society is no longer sustainable, we are setting a clear signal with this strategy. It is our compass for long-term, responsible action – for our employees, our partners, and future generations. Sustainability is not an addition but the core of our business model."

Our mission
Our ambition in environmental responsibility for a more sustainable defense is to protect our planet through achieving CO2 neutrality by 2035 and maximizing resource efficiency by improving our recycling rates and reducing waste.

The strategic action field "Planet & Resources" aims to minimize our ecological footprint and promotes a sustainable future. Our focus is on reducing CO2 emissions, expanding renewable energy, and efficient resource use.

Fields of action:

  • CO2 Reduction
  • Resource Efficiency

Targets in focus:

  • Increase the group-wide share of renewable energy and switch energy consumption at HENSOLDT sites to green electricity
  • Reduce all direct and indirect emissions to achieve CO2 neutrality in 2035 (direct emissions scope 1: use of fossil fuels for generators and company cars; indirect emissions scope 2: use of energy for all facilities)
  • Evaluate and reduce emissions from our supply chain and product use (Scope 3)
  • Foster operational environmental protection by increasing the global recycling rate across different waste streams, contributing to a circular economy
