Introduction

Our sustainable transformation journey

Hager’s purpose has always been buildings. As the demands on buildings change – lower emissions, smarter energy use, greater resilience – so does what it means to serve them well. Sustainability is now inseparable from that purpose. It shapes the questions we ask at the start of every product development cycle, the standards we set for our suppliers, and the benchmarks we use to measure our own performance.

This section traces how that commitment translates into action: in our positioning, our operations, and the way we evolve as a company.

Across every role and country, our ability to deliver depends on competent and motivated people operating in a safe and fair environment. When a manufacturing team works safely, when an engineer develops new technical expertise, when a manager leads inclusively, creativity becomes natural and contributes to stronger outcomes. This is how sustainability and business performance reinforce each other – through the people who make it real every day.

Chief Human Resources Officer and Sustainability Sponsor

The part of our sustainability work that people see least is the infrastructure behind it. In 2025, we reached a point where more than 80% of our high-volume products carry an environmental product declaration. That did not come from a single initiative. It came from years of aligning various teams, from sales to engineering, around a shared standard. Sustainability at Hager is a transformation practice. That is both less glamorous and more durable than any campaign.
