Provide meaningful disclosure on our activities and progress
Align our strategy and disclosure practices with the third-party standards, goals, and frameworks that are most relevant to our business and are of the greatest interest to our stakeholders

Enterprise Risk Assessment—Climate-Related Risk Oversight

Each year, the Company conducts a comprehensive enterprise risk assessment that includes details of the Company’s management of enterprise-wide risk topics, including climate-related risks.

The Company engaged third-party experts to help identify and quantify climate-related risks and opportunities in 2024. This engagement went deeper than the enterprise risk assessment by evaluating transition and physical (both acute and chronic) risks and opportunities using multiple scenarios over short-, medium-, and long-term time horizons.

Voluntary Disclosure and Prioritization

We believe accurate and meaningful disclosure of our sustainability performance is important to ensure transparency and alignment with the interests of our various stakeholders. We began voluntarily disclosing our targets and progress in 2014 covering 2011-2013.

We carefully select the priorities where we want to optimize our sustainability impact while contributing to our overall business strategies.

Reliability and Assurance in Disclosures

Recognizing that reliability and accuracy in disclosures are of primary importance, we continue to proactively design our sustainability disclosures not only to meet stakeholder expectations but also to align with control systems. We conduct external assurance of our emissions data and related energy consumption according to ISO 14064-1:2019. Our own Internal Audit has been involved in reviewing Scope 1 and Scope 2 data and processes since 2022.

Our Compliance Program

Our Ethics and Compliance Program contributes significantly to our leadership in good governance. We designed this program and continue to update it according to relevant regulatory guidance, which helps us prevent, detect, and respond to potential violations. We periodically engage independent parties to ensure that our program is well designed.

We complete an ethics and compliance risk assessment annually, which directs our activities and guides the strategy of our Ethics and Compliance Program.

Additionally, our Ethical, Social, and Quality Standards set out our public commitment to conduct our business ethically, legally, and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Interaction with Shareholders and Other Stakeholders

We prioritize engagement with third-party ratings agencies that we believe are relevant to our various stakeholders. We have a history of high performance with many ratings agencies, including CDP, MSCI, Sustainalytics, ISS, and S&P Global.

We also are an active member of EcoVadis, a platform where suppliers and buyers are rated according to ethical, environmental, and social parameters.

How We Align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Our Corporate Responsibility Report tracks our sustainability commitments and progress and illustrates how our GreenMT priorities align with SDGs. We believe that METTLER TOLEDO has a role to play in helping achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we share the UN’s commitment to proactively address sustainability challenges. Our GreenMT strategy aligns with the SDGs most relevant to us.
