By participating in the network, ODU is underscoring its commitment to sustainability and ethical principles. “As an international company, we are responsible not only for our employees, but also for our customers and the environment,” states ODU Group Managing Director Dr. Josef Leitner. “Joining the UN Global Compact is the next logical step on our mission to become ever more sustainable in our operations. Being part of that network strongly reflects our values.”
For years, ODU has been implementing a wide range of measures that reflect its commitment to environmental, social, and economic responsibility. On the engineering side, measures include installing ODU’s own solar power system, recovering process heat extensively, and using well water to cool machines. On the management side, ODU counts on certified environment and energy management systems, targeted employee development, and charitable activities in the local community. These initiatives demonstrate that sustainability is central to ODU’s values and embedded in its daily decisions and workflows.
One of the main benefits of the UN Global Compact is that it establishes a strategic framework that ODU can apply to expand and regularly review its sustainability efforts. Membership provides access to a variety of practical resources for achieving ESG goals. This will provide targeted support for ODU’s sustainability ambitions. In addition, ODU’s participation shows its support for the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, which serve as a global guide for sustainable action in business, politics and society. In future, ODU will disclose its progress made in implementing the Ten Principles of the UNGC as part of the annual Communication on Progress (CoP).
By joining, ODU sends a clear signal to customers, partners, and the region, while strengthening its position in a market where sustainability is an increasingly important competitive factor.
