Sustainability with Substance: Our ESG Commitments

At HORA, sustainable practices are not a recent development but a firmly established part of our operations – long before ESG became a recognised standard in industry. As a manufacturer of premium products for advanced control technology, we prioritise efficiency, durability, and responsibility throughout our entire value chain. Many of our well-established initiatives already contribute to reducing emissions, conserving resources, and ensuring fair working conditions – not only within our own production but also in collaboration with suppliers and customers. We view sustainability as an evolving process. Accordingly, we continuously assess and refine our existing measures to meet new demands, technologies, and regulatory frameworks such as ESG standards, and the EU’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our efforts encompass energy-efficient production processes, targeted employee development, and responsible supplier management. This practical approach fosters trust and lays the groundwork for a sustainable future we are building together with our partners.
