As businesses across Australia strive to become more environmentally responsible, the introduction of stricter sustainability regulations is set to create both challenges and opportunities.
Kaeser Compressors Australia says it is ready to assist businesses at every stage of their sustainability journey, whether it’s as simple as cutting back energy use or as complex as meeting international targets, such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
True to the Kaeser philosophy of “More compressed air for less energy”, its products are designed to operate with “exceptional energy-efficiency and eco-friendliness”.
Beyond this, Kaeser says it minimises the use of valuable environmental resources throughout production, distribution, and service.
In addition to energy efficiency, Kaeser provides advanced ancillary services, including Air Demand Analysis (ADA) and K-Air remote monitoring. These services help businesses improve uptime, conserve resources, and implement circular economy practices by extending product lifetimes and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
For businesses working to reduce carbon emissions or adopt comprehensive sustainability strategies, Kaeser’s offerings are specifically tailored to support these objectives.
To meet its commitment to sustainability, Kaeser has developed a forward-thinking, organisation-wide concept: Rethink. Research. Reduce. Repair. This approach integrates sustainability into every step of product development and operations.
From the design stage to maintenance and logistics, Kaeser says it ensures that environmental responsibility is embedded across the entire lifecycle of its products.
Rethink: Sustainable product development requires new approaches. Kaeser equips employees with Design Thinking skills at the Hasso Plattner Institute to develop innovative, resource-efficient solutions.
Research: With over 100 years of expertise, Kaeser utilises advanced simulation, calculation tools, and prototype validation to create highly efficient, dependable, and eco-friendly compressed air systems.
Reduce: Recognising that the most resource consumption occurs during long-term operation, Kaeser prioritises energy efficiency to ensure minimal environmental impact. Packaging materials have also been adapted to more eco-friendly choices, such as recyclable honeycomb cardboard and biodegradable bubble wrap, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
Repair: Maintenance-friendly design is evaluated and optimised by its service technicians to extend product lifecycles and reduce waste.
Kaeser’s world headquarters in Germany has set ambitious sustainability goals. It aims to reduce direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2) by 80 per cent by 2030 (compared to the base year 2019).
Additionally, indirect emissions from the upstream and downstream value chain (Scope 3) are estimated to decrease by 15 per cent over the same period.
Kaeser also aligns with the United Nations' SDGs, with focus areas including energy efficiency, CO2 neutrality, environmental protection, resource conservation and fair working conditions.
As businesses face growing expectations for responsible practices, Kaeser Compressors Australia is prepared to guide them in reducing energy use, enhancing operational efficiency, and meeting regulatory requirements.
Kaeser offers custom solutions designed to meet unique needs and support meaningful progress toward sustainability.
