Food palletizing: Robots stack insects

In Denmark, larval farming and technology are merging into a sustainable solution for the global food supply: ENORM Biofactory uses the precision of KUKA hygienic oil robots when palletizing insect crates in order to produce a climate-friendly source of protein.

Sustainability at our company

The work starts with ourselves. As a company with global operations, we bear a great deal of economic, ecological and social responsibility. That is why we are responding to the changes in our world with forward-looking entrepreneurial action towards the environment, employees, customers, investors and wider society. This is how we aim to ensure sustainable development.

We have achieved a great deal already, but we still have huge goals ahead of us.

Our goal: -40% CO₂ emissions by 2030

We are working hard on this

  • Working for the KUKA Group

    We owe our success to our employees. KUKA Group is responsible for more than 15,000 employees worldwide. They work on challenging projects in an international environment that gives them plenty of scope to shape these key issues for the future and their personal career at KUKA.

  • Climate & nature

    As an industrial company, KUKA Group wants to make a measurable contribution to reducing its environmental impact. So we start with our own company: We are reducing our consumption of energy and other resources, cutting our emissions and reducing our waste volumes. Thanks to their efficiency, KUKA robots and systems also help our customers to cut costs. At the same time, they help to conserve resources and protect the climate.

  • Supply chain

    Suppliers can have a significant influence on a company’s sustainability performance. We are able to shape our supply chain on the basis of sustainability criteria by conveying a shared understanding of quality and responsibility and delegating monitoring tasks to the business units and regions.

  • Corporate management

    We consider corporate compliance to be a key element of effective corporate management. Therefore, compliance with the legal framework, including KUKA Group’s internal guidelines, is a matter of course for all our business processes.

“Sustainability is multifaceted – covering everything from climate protection and responsible supply chains to treating each other with respect. And at KUKA, we have a responsibility to do justice to each and every one of these aspects.”

Peter Mohnen, CEO of KUKA AG
