summary
Melbourne, Australia – July 22, 2025 – ANCA, a global technology leader and manufacturing and engineering services, has launched its first sustainability strategy 2025-2030, a bold and transformative roadmap that embeds environmental responsibility, innovation and community impacts. Designed with the same engineering accuracy that has defined ANCA for over 50 years, this strategy represents a change in how a company is shaping the future of sophisticated manufacturing.
“Sustainability is not the finish line. It’s a commitment to evolving how we think, design and operate,” said Martin U. Ripple, CEO of ANCA Group. “As engineers, we know that progress is built on purposeful and clever steps. We are proud to take this next step in our journey by integrating sustainability into every layer of our business.”
Fixed in Climate Science: Science-Based Target Initiatives
As part of its commitment to the environment, ANCA is aligning its climate targets with the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTI), a globally recognized framework that helps businesses reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the latest climate science and the Paris Agreement goals.
ANCA has pledged to reduce absolute range 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% from baseline in 2023 and 25% reductions range 3 emissions in the same time frame.
The SBTI coordination demonstrates ANCA’s dedication to ambitious, science-driven climate action. Emission reductions are achieved through a combination of improved energy efficiency, adoption of renewable energy, and collaboration across the supply chain.
Strategic Foundations: Governance, Innovation, Impact
Governance and monitoring
ANCA’s Sustainability Steering Committee will drive implementation and bring together leaders from operations, finance, HR and business units to ensure sustainability is incorporated into decision-making and operations.
Double material relentless
Leading through a dual materiality assessment, ANCA’s strategy focuses on the intersection of business impact and global needs.
Key Focus Areas and Targets
Environmental commitment
Carbon Emissions: Range 1 and 2 GHG emissions have been reduced by 42%. Range 3 x 25% by 2030. Round economy: Recyclability, waste reduction, and product redesign for closed loop systems.
People and Community
Safety: Maintains LTIFR below 6. We aim for zero harm. Diversity and Talent: Expand graduate programs, increase women’s representation, and build leadership through the ANCA leadership framework. STEM and social impact: ongoing support for robotics, Space, and University of Motorsports teams, as well as charity programs in Australia, the US, Thailand and more.
Ethics and Supply Chain
Modern Slavery: Full compliance with the Modern Slavery Act of 2018. Sustainable Logistics: A transition to low-emission transport and ethical procurement through new supplier codes of conduct and sustainability assessment systems.
Sustainability through innovation
ANCA’s cutting-edge machines already provide more sustainable results through design, providing greater energy efficiency, reduced waste and extended product lifespan. IoT, data analytics and predictive maintenance innovations further reduce operational impacts and increase customer long-term value.
“Innovation is our DNA,” Ripple said. “Our strategy ensures that every breakthrough not only promotes performance, but also provides lasting environmental and social benefits.”
Conclusion: Shared responsibility
“Micross is important in our business. The same level of accuracy guides our sustainability approach,” added Ripple. “Reducing emissions, all the recycled parts, all the skills have evolved. Everything is summed up. With our employees, our customers and our partners, we don’t just keep up with the change – we’re driving it.”
