Interim Report 2024

Elma starts successfully into 2024 and increases net sales and profitability considerably

The Elma Group had a successful start into 2024. In the first half of 2024, Elma recorded net sales on record level and also significantly increased profitability. Thanks to a further easing in the supply chain situation and the optimization of production processes, Elma was able to significantly improve their delivery performance to customers. Order income decreased slightly in all regions but was still at a solid level. Inventories were reduced in the first half of 2024 year on year. The number of employees remained unchanged compared to the end of 2023.

One of Elma Group’s mid-term goals is to build a new headquarters at the Wetzikon site in Switzerland. This will further expand system integration and electronic design in Switzerland. The construction planning has progressed as planned and the project is now taking concrete shape. In order to position the Elma Group for the future, sustainability is one of the strategic pillars and is anchored in the organization. In the annual sustainability report, Elma will provide information about their sustainability performance in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).

Sustainability Report 2023

The Elma Group is committed to sustainability as an important aspect of our corporate culture. In addition to success of our business activities, Elma attaches great importance to taking responsibility for our employees, caring of the environment and making a positive contribution to society. These values are in line with the principle of sustainable initiatives, which includes economic, environmental and social aspects. Management and employees assume their responsibilities.

In order to meet the increasing demands for transparency and to make our commitment more visible, Elma publishes a sustainability report. We focus our efforts on reducing CO₂ emissions, protecting and safeguarding our employees, respecting human rights (e.g. preventing child labor) and combating corruption.

The calculations of greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) were conducted and validated for the first time for 2021 as the base year. Understanding current emissions is the first step in defining goals that ensure long-term environmental protection and the success of our company. We want to continue on this path, concentrating our efforts on concrete measures within the company.

We publish our sustainability report 2023, including reporting on non-financial matters in accordance with Article 964b of the Swiss Code of Obligations.
