Accountability
Our approach
Protection of the environment is part of the KGS GROUP’s corporate values and business strategy. All employees are involved in this responsibility. We invest in modern, energy-efficient production technologies and work with local partners to reduce emissions, waste and water usage – while our diamond tools themselves help customers work more efficiently.
Corner stones
- Part of our strategy – Environmental protection is embedded in our corporate values and long-term business decisions.
- Efficient products – Long-life diamond tools reduce abrasive consumption, changeovers and process waste in many applications.
- Industry engagement – KGS participates in sector initiatives such as FEPA and the SEAM sustainability program to improve measurement and reduction of its carbon footprint.

Taking accountability
We have developed our first Group-wide sustainability report. This report will consolidate our environmental, social and governance activities, including CO₂ accounting across Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 categories. The goal is to create a clear baseline, define measurable objectives and report transparently on our progress over time.

Goals – from ambition to action
- We set clear goals for emissions, resource efficiency and product performance.
