objectives 2025.

our goals for 2025.

Our ambition is to make Sustainable Design an integral part of the product development process. This starts with creating awareness throughout the organization and our customers and collaboration partners and ends with incorporating improvements into our designs to reduce the ecological footprint. This implementation is ensured by integrating sustainable benchmarks into our quality management system.

We have already taken a big step in creating awareness, and by 2025 we aim to include 100% of employees in this through our own set-up of training courses. In 2024, we worked hard to analyze the ecological footprint, and the tools we developed for this can be applied to even more projects in 2025. The Sustainable Design Guidelines, which form the basis for engineers, will be further expanded in 2025 with the knowledge gained.

Integrate sustainable thinking into the project plan of new assignments.
Further improve tools (ECD template, Quickscan tool, LCA tool).
Create awareness and space among all employees.
Train employees in sustainable design.

To achieve these objectives, we will implement the following projects:

Training business developers, project managers and system architects in the sustainability competencies offered by Demcon. We also want to improve the visibility of these trainings. These trainings not only focus on awareness, but also offer concrete tools to activate colleagues to apply what they have learned in practice.
Apply and evaluate the tools.
Incorporating sustainable design deliverables into the QMS.
Organize training sessions and presentations to explain the Sustainable Design Guidelines.
Set up sales sheets and include them in sales process.
Investigate further integration of sustainable design into the Demcon stage-gate model (including project plan) so that it becomes an integral part of all stages of the development process. This includes continuous improvement through evaluation.
