Sustainability at JOST

Responsibility is an integral part of our strategy. We set measurable targets, report transparently on our progress and drive continuous improvement across our environmental, social and governance performance.

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.
