Sustainability

At LEM we help our customers and society accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.

We go beyond being a leading current and voltage sensors manufacturer; we are dedicated to helping our customers and society propel the transition to a sustainable future.

It's not just a part of what we do; it's a fundamental aspect woven into the fabric of our organization.

We continually enhance our internal capabilities and spearhead sustainability initiatives, ensuring transparent reporting on our progress.

We firmly believe that sustainable and ethical practices aren't just noble aspirations—they are integral to creating long-term value for all key stakeholders in society.

This commitment not only ensures the longevity of businesses but also drives the development of intelligent solutions that inspire us and others to strive for better.

Our success is not merely measured in technological advancements; it's deeply rooted in operating within a clear value system, adhering to best practice principles and standards, and closely monitoring Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

ESG – Environmental, Social and corporate Governance

Recognizing the pivotal role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance in shaping our sustainable journey, LEM is dedicated to keeping a meticulous score of our efforts.

Additionally, our continuous adherence to ISO 14001 ensures that environmental management is an integral part of our operations.

 

Underlining our dedication to climate responsibility, our senior management team is actively involved in climate-related matters and even incentivised on CO2 reduction, ensuring that environmental considerations are not just met but are integral to our decision-making processes.
