Each and every day at Festo, we pursue the goal of making tomorrow’s working world more productive, simpler and more sustainable. That’s why we develop solutions for automation and technical education that prepare people, companies and organizations for the digital future in production, and for new technologies.

As an internationally active, family-owned company, we know how important it is to maintain one’s roots. And that’s why we don’t just engage representatives around the globe, we have our own on-site companies with their own local identities. This has resulted in a global network consisting of around 20,500 experts who contribute their expertise every day. They make us a prime mover within our industry sector and help to keep the world moving.

On the way to carbon neutrality

Over the next few years, Festo will be massively reducing its carbon footprint. We have already made enormous progress in 2023 with regard to scopes 1, 2 and 3.8: Since 2024 – two years earlier than planned – the entire Festo Group has been CO2-compensated in Scope 1. Furthermore, we plan to reduce Scope 1 emissions by around 30 percent by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2040. In Scope 2 and 3.8, the Festo Group has already been carbon-neutral since 2024. We are also continuing to invest in energy efficiency measures and the further expansion of photovoltaics (PV).
