How ZEISS binoculars and spotting scopes contribute to more sustainability

Dear Reader,

The climate crisis creates major challenges for all of us and at the same time requires the commitment of every individual. For us sustainability and business success are inextricably linked. That is why we have set ourselves ambitious goals from the responsible use of resources and sustainable product development to our numerous nature conservation initiatives.

There is still a long way to go but you can already gain an insight into our current sustainability projects and join us on our journey to bring more sustainability to ZEISS.

Our commitment to the protection of nature and environment

Together with various cooperation partners, we are very committed to sustainability and environmental protection. With numerous nature conservation and social responsibility initiatives we want to contribute that nature and habitats for countless species remain in place over a long period of time and let people also in the future experience the beauty of our nature.

How we make our products more sustainable

Additive manufacturing reduces CO₂ emissions

By switching to 3D printing processes for the manufacturing of special tools the use of highly energy-intensive aluminum and transport routes have been reduced.

Sustainable packaging made of recycled materials

New products are now packaged in fully recyclable cardboard boxes and product bags made of 100% recycled material from old PET bottles.

Durability thanks to customer service

We are focusing on a sustainable product and service concept with extensive laboratory and field tests on durability, material use and reparability. Doing so we are saving important materials and resources.

Our contribution to the responsible use of resources

We are creating awareness and sensitivity around the responsible use of ressources with a wide variety of employee projects. Investing in new cooling systems or using the concept of drip irrigation for lens production have already saved over 10,000m³ water per year.

Initiatives, such as switching to LEDs or the exclusive use of electricity from renewable energy sources in production, lead to continuous energy savings.
