Impact-Bewertung
Daifuku directly enables more efficient warehouse and manufacturing systems for business operators around the world. This reduces the energy and resource footprint of these businesses’ operations. The absolute improvements, however, are typically quite modest, and clients are other large businesses.
Fundamentale Qualität
Daifuku has a track-record of innovation in warehouse automation and has built a strong competitive position on a reputation for quality. The company has a reasonable approach to ESG but would benefit from a more strategic perspective on key issues including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and gender diversity.
UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziele
SDG 9 promotes resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure and provision of basic services and green jobs for all. Daifuku’s products and services address these issues in warehouses and wider logistics.
