ESG | MKS PAMP

Our Approach to ESG

Since its founding in 1979, MKS PAMP has always maintained a long-term vision focused on creating enduring value for its stakeholders. Today, that legacy continues as we integrate environmental and social considerations into every aspect of our operations—alongside financial performance. Our commitment is rooted in a belief that responsible business practices are essential, not only for our stakeholders but also for future generations.

Guiding Values

As a family-led enterprise, we uphold a culture grounded in inclusivity, respect, and long-term thinking. Sustainability is at the heart of who we are and how we engage with our employees, partners, and communities. Our values guide us to maintain a responsible, forward-looking approach that addresses today’s needs and challenges while anticipating those of tomorrow.

Leadership and Governance

Our Board of Directors, CEO, and Executive Committee ensure that ESG priorities inform all key strategic decisions. A dedicated ESG team provides oversight and direction, embedding environmental and social considerations across every aspect of the organisation. Since 2022, we have more than doubled the size of our ESG team—underscoring our commitment to building both capacity and resources for effective sustainability management. Through this governance framework, every level of the company is empowered to understand, support and contribute to our sustainability commitments.

Embedding Sustainability Across Our Business

We weave ESG principles into our policies, operational goals, and daily activities. Senior management sets a clear strategic direction, and employees are empowered through comprehensive training and initiatives to integrate ESG principles in their roles. To ensure accountability and continuous progress in line with set objectives, ESG understanding and engagement are key performance indicators assessed during annual performance reviews. This performance-driven approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement across the organisation.

Transforming Ambition into Action

Our 2030 strategy translates our commitments into concrete achievements. We are focused on:

Implementing impact-driven changes at our Ticino production site and Geneva trading operations, to enhance environmental performance and ensure the well-being of our employees and the local community.
Fostering partnerships with clients who share our vision for a sustainable future, creating value that extends beyond our direct operations.
Delivering products and services that enable end investors to make informed, sustainable choices, thereby amplifying positive impact across the entire value chain.

Engaging Stakeholders and Defining Priorities

We recognize that effective ESG management requires understanding the interests of those connected to and impacted by our activities. In FY24, we conducted a comprehensive double materiality assessment to identify the ESG themes most relevant to both our stakeholders and our business resilience. These findings guide our actions and reporting, ensuring we remain responsive to evolving stakeholder expectations.

Our Reporting Practices

In keeping with our longstanding dedication to accountability and integrity, MKS PAMP has published an annual sustainability report since 2009 on a voluntary basis. We align our disclosures with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards to strengthen the rigor of our ESG disclosures.

Since FY23, we have obtained limited assurance from PwC for select indicators under GRI 305 (Emissions) and GRI 403 (Occupational Health and Safety). In FY24, we expanded this assurance process to include select indicators under GRI 308 (Supplier Environmental Assessment) and GRI 414 (Supplier Social Assessment). These measures underscore our ongoing commitment to transparent and comprehensive ESG reporting.
