Sustainability
Towards a sustainable future.
We develop sustainable solutions and highly efficient drives for customers. By doing so, we advance innovative technologies that help to master the challenges of our time. However, we also take seriously our responsibility as part of society: maxon is careful in how it uses resources and also actively optimizes its processes and modernizes its buildings. Our principle focus, however, is on people. The safety and well-being of our employees is our top priority.
Our motivation: people and the environment.
As a long-established, family-owned Swiss company, sustainable approaches to production and business have always been part of our DNA. We take the long view, and want to protect our resources. That’s why we regularly modernize our buildings to make them as energy-efficient and accessible as possible. We also recycle materials. And we get involved in forward-thinking projects for the environment. On this page, you can read the most important details about our activities in this sphere.

We drive research and development, to help tackle the challenges of our time. Our products and our buildings are energy-efficient. And in all our regions, we have close ties to the local people.
For our employees
A working environment characterized by trust and respect.
The success of maxon would not be possible without our employees. They make our company what it is, keep our customers happy, and develop the technologies that take us all further. A strong sense of responsibility toward our employees is ingrained in our family-run company. We think in terms of generations and are happy to have so many employees of long standing, some of whom have children who now also work with us.
For our environment
Our responsibility to future generations.
Climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and the overuse of the resources of our planet threaten the very basis of our existence. In its business activities, maxon seeks to take responsibility for the environment and society, to make a life worth living possible for future generations. This commitment is expressed in our Code of Conduct, which applies to the entire Group. We consider the environmental impacts of both our business activity and our products. It is our goal to reduce negative impact on the environment and climate, and in particular to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our responsibility
A moral compass for ethical conduct and reliable products.
The way we conduct our activities and make decisions is founded on our moral principles and values: high standards of quality and performance, and treating people with respect, both inside the company and outside it. This not only protects maxon’s reputation but is also a prerequisite for strong partnerships. So we can achieve progress – for society, for people, and for the environment.
