Our sustainability program

The health and wellbeing of our employees is a top priority for LEONI. The LTIFR (Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate) measures the frequency of work-related accidents resulting in lost working time. The target of reducing the LTIFR from 0.14 in 2023 to 0.06 by 2026 was already exceeded in 2025, with a rate of 0.04.

In addition, we achieved our target of certifying 100 % of production sites that have been in operation for more than two years according to the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standard. Numerous health and safety initiatives were also implemented, including cancer prevention campaigns (“Pink October”), flu vaccinations, blood donation drives, and heat-protection measures.

LEONI already has a gender balance in its overall workforce. However, we are also committed to further increasing the proportion of women in senior management and on our Executive Board. We aim by 2030 to have 20 %  of our senior management positions (Levels 1-3) occupied by women. By 2040, the proportion of women in leadership positions is to be at least 40 %. To support this objective, we offer a range of initiatives designed to promote long-term career development for women.

As part of its climate strategy, LEONI has set itself binding targets for the use of renewable energy as well as raising its own energy efficiency. By 2025, we will already be drawing 80 % of our energy from renewable sources; by 2030 almost 100 %.

With our LEONI Code of Conduct for Business Partners, we unequivocally define protection against human rights abuses for LEONI but also for our upstream value chain. Human rights risks are systematically identified and assessed within our own operations as well as among our business partners, and appropriate preventive and corrective measures are derived and implemented accordingly.

Promoting sustainable mobility contributes to making cities safe, resilient and sustainable. In keeping with our vision of ‘Best in Class Wiring Systems’, we also intend to be a provider of innovative solutions with respect to sustainability challenges. We are advancing decarbonised mobility by offering such new product solutions for alternative drive technologies as e-mobility. At the same time, LEONI continues to expand its use of renewable energy at its production sites, using green electricity tariffs, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), the expansion of its own photovoltaic systems, and energy efficiency measures.

We are working on measures to step up our use of secondary raw materials and on replacing ecologically critical materials with more sustainable resources as ways of contributing to more sustainable production. Furthermore, we intend to ensure that both social and ecological standards are observed in our procurement of raw materials. To this end, we have set ourselves goals for raising the transparency of both our purchased materials and the social as well as ecological impact of our suppliers.

We are committed to the Paris Climate Agreement with the aim of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. By 2050, we will have lowered the emissions along our entire value chain (Scope 1-3) by 90 %. And from 2040 at the latest, we will have neutralised all unavoidable emissions at our own facilities (Scope 1 and 2), thereby being climate-neutral in our own production. In 2024, we also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), thereby laying the foundation for a binding, science-based climate strategy.

The ecological and social challenges in our value chain can only be overcome jointly. We therefore attach great importance to collaboration and regular exchange of ideas with our suppliers and customers, but also with such other stakeholder groups as NGOs and sector associations.
