Sustainability

As a leading supplier of electrical infrastructure components, the R&S Group is actively committed to the energy transition. Our mission is to provide reliable energy while supporting the transition to renewable energy sources and their efficient distribution. Sustainability is therefore a central component of our corporate strategy, shaping both our current and future activities.

We pursue a holistic approach to integrating sustainability principles throughout our entire value chain. We rely on a circular economy model that considers the whole life cycle of our products – from material selection and design to use and recycling. Our goal is to continuously improve the energy efficiency of our products and promote the use of resource-saving materials.

One example of our commitment is the development of the next-generation transformers. By using climate-friendly materials, such as low-carbon steel, and optimising the design, we have increased the energy efficiency of our current models by over 25% compared to previous generations. Furthermore, more than 80% of the raw materials used in our transformers consist of various, largely recyclable metals.

Within the R&S Group, we have defined concrete goals, processes, and performance indicators to measure and continuously improve our progress in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability. We are currently working on further integrating ESG principles into our business processes and compensation models to ensure sustainable corporate governance.

Our successes in the 2024 fiscal year, including 40% revenue growth to CHF 282.6 million and a record order backlog of CHF 278 million, confirm the effectiveness of our sustainable strategy. We are convinced that economic success and ecological responsibility are mutually reinforcing, and we remain committed to developing innovative solutions for a sustainable energy future.
