Better Health for All

Aumann AG manufactures specialized production lines and automation systems for various industries, including medical, e-mobility, and solar modules.

While these indirectly support health or environmental health, the company's principal goods (production lines) do not have a direct, measurable positive or negative health impact on end-users, resulting in a neutral score for health impact and harmful revenue share. The company states its production lines have high safety standards and ergonomic operation, and it provides safe working conditions, but no quantitative data on user harm or adverse events is available, making the safety record KPI not applicable. Aumann supported Ukraine war relief efforts by collecting and transporting over 20 Europaletten of goods and 7 strollers. The company trains its own junior staff through apprenticeships and dual university study programs, with every tenth employee completing such a program. Aumann also cooperates with a school, offering projects in its training workshop.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Aumann AG is a manufacturer of specialized production lines and automation systems, not a financial institution.

The company does not offer lending or deposit services to consumers, nor does it provide consumer credit products. There is no evidence of Aumann AG generating revenue from high-cost financial products, managing customer finance data, or being regulated as a lender. Consequently, all KPIs related to financial services, consumer lending, and financial inclusion are not applicable to its core business operations.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

As of December 31, 2024, Aumann AG employed 4 temporary workers out of a total workforce of 990 people.

This represents approximately 0.404% of the total workforce on temporary contracts. This figure decreased from 20 temporary workers out of 1,045 total people in 2023. The company adjusted capacities in 2024, leading to a reduction in both permanent staff and temporary workers.

Honest & Fair Business

Aumann AG has a comprehensive whistleblower policy in place since September 1, 2023, which complies with the EU Whistleblower Directive since the 2022 financial year.

The policy applies worldwide, allows for confidential and anonymous reporting of various violations, and protects reporters from harassment or retaliation. The company had one minor financial restatement of €2 thousand in 2024, related to the finalization of a purchase price allocation. All subsidiaries are fully consolidated, indicating 100% audit coverage. A Group-wide anti-corruption policy, issued in June 2018, is in place, covering aspects like gifts, hospitality, and conflicts of interest, but the articles do not provide details on training frequency or effectiveness metrics. Ethical claims and compliance are subject to external audit opinions, and German sites hold ISO 14001 certifications.

Kind to Animals

Aumann AG manufactures specialized production lines and automation systems. The provided articles contain no evidence that the company engages in activities related to animal testing, animal agriculture, animal-derived ingredients, or specific animal welfare policies or initiatives.

Therefore, all KPIs related to 'Kind to Animals' are scored as N/A, indicating that these metrics are not applicable to the company's core business model or that no relevant data was found.

No War, No Weapons

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to score any of the KPIs against the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. While Aumann AG identifies 'controversial weapons' as a core issue for compliance with minimum social standards,

the articles do not provide details on specific weapon bans, verified zero exposure, or any quantitative data related to arms contracts, dual-use technology, or peacebuilding initiatives. General statements about human rights commitment or compliance systems like whistleblower directives do not map to the specific quantitative or qualitative thresholds required by the rubric for the given KPIs.

Planet-Friendly Business

Aumann AG sourced 62.7% of its operational energy from renewables in 2024.

The company's water intensity was 15 m³ per €m revenue in 2024. Aumann AG reported zero environmental compliance violations in both 2023 and 2024. The company aims for CO2-neutral German production facilities and office buildings by 2030.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Aumann AG has no reported cultural appropriation incidents.

The company's Code of Conduct, updated in July 2022, encourages employees to raise concerns openly and without fear of reprisal, directing them to their immediate supervisor and Compliance Officer. A whistleblower system is also implemented on the company's homepage. The company demonstrated basic language inclusivity by providing aid for Ukraine marked in German, Polish, and Ukrainian, and its Code of Conduct is translated from German to English. However, there is no specific data on the number of formal partnerships with indigenous or local community groups, the percentage of revenue reinvested in local community development, or the existence of a formal cultural impact assessment protocol. Information regarding local employment ratios, cultural preservation investments, local procurement share, or the number of indigenous suppliers is also not provided.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Aumann AG has not reported any waste disposal violations in the past three years.

All German sites are certified in accordance with the international environmental management standard ISO 14001. The company's highly automated production lines are characterized by a long service life. Aumann has made fundamental progress in stacking and destacking technology, which enables efficient production and disassembly of fuel cell stacks, contributing to resource conservation and the circular economy.
