Sustainability Report 2023

In the past year, GF made good progress against most of its sustainability targets.

GF generated 68% of its sales from products, systems or solutions that deliver social or environmental benefits.

GF reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 35% compared with the baseline. The Scope 3 intensity remained stable at 3.3 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of processed material and use of sold products compared with the baseline.

In 2023, GF conducted a comprehensive global employee engagement survey across all divisions. The survey achieved a 70% of response rate in line with expectations for a first-time survey. Overall, the vast majority of our employees recommend GF as an employer of choice (Median 80%).

GF's strategic focus on solutions addressing customers' sustainability needs is generating steady growth. At GF Piping Systems, these are, for example, solutions to minimize losses in cooling systems or water infrastructure. GF Casting Solutions focuses on components to reduce the weight of e-vehicles. Replacing chemical etching with laser texturing is another such example from GF Machining Solutions.

The company strives to create and foster a diverse and inclusive work environment, where inspiration, collaboration and innovation empower employees to perform at their best and are key elements to attract and retain talent.
