Materiality

DMG MORI has identified and announced its Materiality and the group's approach to sustainability management.
We have defined 13 materiality issues based on our Mission Statement and divided them into three major categories; “Contributing to society and environment through technological innovation,” “Strengthening management foundation, “and “Realizing sustainable society.
For each of the 13 issues, we set KPIs and are implementing group-wide activities under our new three-year management plan, “Mid-term Business Plan2025,” which has been effective since January 2023

How We Identified Materiality

When identifying Materiality, DMG MORI listed the important issues and organized them into categories while carefully considering various factors; international guidelines, global social issues, and other internal and external circumstances that must be taken into account, in addition to the Mission Statement, Medium-term Business Plan 2025, and other key policies and plans of the DMG MORI group.
