Together with our customers, we shape the cities of the future by providing sustainable, smart urban mobility. Sustainability is integral to the Schindler way of doing business, defining how we work – creating value for all.
Managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors is strategically important to us. We have integrated ESG in our business through our management systems, policies, and continuing technical, business, and leadership trainings.
Our ESG priorities were identified through consultations with the Group Executive Committee and a selection of senior managers across our organization. A panel of independent experts added their insights to ensure our roadmap is focused on areas where we can make the biggest contribution.
Every day, we move more than 1.5 billion passengers, who rely on our products to get around – that means the safety and reliability of our products are critical.
We pioneer smart mobility with our ideas and solutions, keeping an ever-growing urban world easily accessible and making each trip safe and efficient.
We are committed to increase sustainability and environmental awareness in our supply chain while maintaining high standards of safety & quality.
With our global service vehicle fleet, Schindler technicians are on the move to provide seamless mobility for everyone, 24 hours a day.
Our global presence, with more than 69,000 people spread across 100 countries, gives us access to the full spectrum of human diversity. We are proud to provide a work environment that is inclusive and diverse.
We keep communities on the move – but not only. We make a positive contribution to society through targeted Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
We support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as the Paris Climate Agreement. We've identified six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) where we can have the most impact – but we contribute to more.
