Zollner (EMS company)
Why is your company's sustainability
mission so important?
Sustainability, CO
2
footprint and emission
reduction are important to Zollner and influ-
ence our company's strategy. Sustainability is
a major topic; we are an EMS company with
headquarters in the EU and regulations like
the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Direc-
tive (CSRD), customer requirements, and cor-
porate social responsibility are the main driv-
ers for us.
What led you to joining IPC's
leadership council?
The opportunity to interact with represen-
tatives of the entire electronics supply chain
was a major factor in my decision to join
the Council. Sustainability today considers
the entire lifecycle (downstream, upstream,
direct). Suppliers have approximately 10–15%
influence of the sustainability of a product.
OEMs have the greatest influence on suppli-
ers and sub-suppliers. It's all about effectively
working with the supply chain.
