Our Approach
Sustainability as a business imperative
At JOST, sustainability is not a stand-alone initiative – it is embedded in how we operate. As a global manufacturer of mission-critical systems for commercial vehicles, we recognize our responsibility to minimize our environmental footprint, foster safe and fair workplaces, and uphold the highest standards of governance.
Our sustainability framework is built around three pillars: Environment, Social and Governance. Within each, we set measurable targets and report transparently on our progress.
Global Goals
Our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Zero Hunger
With our agricultural systems – from front loaders to three-point linkages – we help increase farming productivity worldwide, including in emerging markets.
Quality Education
Through vocational training, dual study programmes and targeted talent management, we offer our employees worldwide opportunities for professional development – with a particular focus on young talent.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
We pursue ambitious growth targets while ensuring the health and safety of our over 6,500 employees worldwide. Respect for human rights and the prevention of all forms of discrimination are non-negotiable.
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
As a technology leader, we drive innovation across all three business lines – from automated coupling systems to sensor-based digital solutions that increase efficiency and safety.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Our systems help make the transportation of goods to urban and rural areas more sustainable and efficient. Our R&D efforts focus on solutions that reduce emissions in commercial transport and logistics.
Responsible Consumption and Production
We work continuously to reduce resource consumption in our production processes and to minimize waste. Our asset-light manufacturing model supports efficient use of materials and energy.
Climate Action
We are committed to substantially reducing our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, our product innovations help our customers reduce their environmental footprint.
Our focus areas
Our sustainability framework is built around three pillars – each with clear targets, concrete measures and transparent reporting.
