Growth in key customer segments 

Our key customer segments are aggregates, minerals processing, and certain areas of metals refining. Our target markets offer attractive growth prospects and have significant potential for further growth and development of the aftermarket business. Several recognized global megatrends, like urbanization, infrastructure projects, electrification of societies, and climate change mitigation, will support market growth. 

Our primary target in the selected segments is to develop its product and service business by leveraging its comprehensive process expertise. In order to reduce business risks and to improve profitability, extensive project deliveries will be limited when they include other than the company’s own technology and expertise.

We strive for a net positive impact on the planet and are committed to the 1.5 °C journey, with targets that are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. This will be implemented through a focus on sustainable offerings and innovations and by being a responsible and trusted partner. 

We have set targets to reduce the emissions of our own operations by 50% by 2030, compared to the 2019 baseline, and to reduce the emissions of logistics by 20% by 2025. We are also targeting that 30% of the supplier spend by the end of 2025 is with partners who have set a CO₂ target.
