Atlas Copco sets non-financial goals for sustainable profitable growth

Atlas Copco, a leading provider of sustainable productivity solutions, has revised the key performance indicators (KPIs) and goals for its non-financial priorities for sustainable profitable growth. Last year Atlas Copco identified five priorities to support sustainable profitable growth: Ethical behavior, Health and safety, Competent teams, Resource efficiency, and Innovation. The newly established goals for the first four priorities are common for all Atlas Copco Group companies, and include such items as zero fatalities, 100% of managers signing compliance to Atlas Copco’s Business Code of Practice, and continued reduction of energy consumption from operations in relation to cost of sales. The Innovation KPIs and goals are set individually by each division to be relevant to their specific businesses. The KPIs and goals will ensure higher productivity, energy efficiency, safety and ergonomics for the customers. “We achieve sustainable profitable growth by continuously developing the most energy efficient and productive products for our customers,” said Ronnie Leten, Atlas Copco’s President and CEO. Consolidated performance figures will be published in the 2016 Annual Report.
