Stratasys Ltd.宣布已发布有关可持续性报告的GRI（“全球报告计划”）标准，已发布其有关环境，社会和治理（ESG）活动的首届报告。综合报告概述了该公司对ESG的承诺，并为未来的目标建立了基准。
在2021年，Stratasys利用30多年的行业领导才能制定其ESG战略，并正式建立了执行主导的“ Stratasys可持续性”功能，这是通过基于添加剂的解决方案对更可持续的正念制造™的承诺的一部分。正念制造是对流程，零件和供应链的深思熟虑的重新设计，利用整个产品生命周期的3D打印，以随着时间的推移最大化可持续性，同时支持业务增长。该公司的可持续性优先事项包括负责负责的生产和消费，透明度，人优先计划，社会影响计划，可再生能源项目，优质教育，行业创新和气候行动的设计。
Stratasys首席执行官Yoav Zeif博士说：“我相信全球制造业处于十字路口。”“由于应对供应链挑战和能源效率需求的压力不断增长，越来越多地探索3D打印以实现此类业务目标。我相信，在2022年和接下来的十年中，采用制造规模的3D印刷的快速增长将为市场带来更多创新，改善供应链并减少环境影响。”
“随着采用，高级软件平台以及与世界各地的行业领先客户的合作，Stratasys Portfolio将继续提供变革性技术来支持未来的工厂。
“加上我们的公司目的，即使人们能够为经济，个性化和可持续的世界创造而无限制地创造，这份报告反映了我们对一项全面，行业领先的ESG战略的深厚承诺。”
There is a growing recognition of the potential for additive manufacturing to achieve environmental goals by reducing energy consumption and waste. For example, when compared to traditional manufacturing methods like computerized numerical control (CNC), during which materials are cut and excess is discarded, 3D printing can reduce material costs and reduce waste by almost 90%, while lowering energy consumption by 25 to 50%1. Additionally, industries like aerospace are showing a growing interest in lightweight polymer parts, which are designed to improve fuel economy without compromising durability and reliability. One global airline found that the reduction of one pound (0.45kg) of weight from an aircraft can save up to 14,000 gallons (53,000 liters) of fuel per year, driving substantial savings over its lifecycle. Stratasys estimates the polymer 3D printing market in aviation alone will grow to $1.6 billion by the end of 2025, an 18% annual growth rate, aided by advancements in lightweight 3D-printed parts.
3 d打印技术可以发挥作用advancing social impact programs, such as STEAM education opportunities and entrepreneurship, also continues to gain support. For example, Stratasys created a “learning by making” program with Jerusalem Municipality that reaches across state-secular, state-religious, independent-religious, and Arab schools. In the U.S., the company is sponsoring the FIRST Robotics Competition for high school students and has provided access to dozens of 3D printers.
“As a leading global polymer 3D printing solutions provider, we have the ability to make a measurable impact on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from building circularity into the economy to creating more inclusive educational opportunities,” said Rosa Coblens, Stratasys Vice President of Sustainability. “Given our position as a sustainability leader, this report demonstrates our long-term commitment to continuous self-evaluation and improvement, to helping industries be more operationally and economically efficient, and reducing supply chain reliance so we can improve our planet.”
