Melbourne, Australia – July, 2025 – Global technology leader, manufacturing and engineering services, ANCA has today launched its inaugural Sustainability Strategy 2025–2030, a bold and transformative roadmap that embeds environmental responsibility, innovation, and community impact at the core of its operations. Designed with the same engineering precision that has defined ANCA for over 50 years, this strategy represents a shift in how the company is shaping the future of advanced manufacturing.
Martin U. Ripple, CEO of ANCA Group
“Sustainability is not a finish line – it’s a commitment to evolving how we think, design, and operate,” said Martin U. Ripple, CEO of ANCA Group. “As engineers, we know progress is built on deliberate, smart steps. We’re proud to take this next step in our journey by integrating sustainability into every layer of our business.”
Anchored in Climate Science: Science Based Targets Initiative
As part of its environmental commitments, ANCA has aligned its climate goals with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – a globally recognised framework that helps businesses reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the latest climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement.
ANCA has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2023 baseline, and to cutting Scope 3 emissions by 25% in the same timeframe.
The SBTi alignment demonstrates ANCA’s dedication to ambitious, science-driven climate action. Emissions reductions will be achieved through a combination of energy efficiency improvements, adoption of renewable energy, and collaboration across the supply chain.
Strategic Foundations: Governance, Innovation, and Impact
Governance & Oversight
An ANCA Sustainability Steering Committee will drive implementation, bringing together leaders from Operations, Finance, HR, and Business Units to ensure sustainability is embedded across decision-making and operations.
Double Materiality Lens
Guided by a double materiality assessment, ANCA’s strategy focuses on the intersection of business impact and global need – targeting the areas where the company can drive the greatest long-term value.

Sustainability Through Innovation
ANCA’s cutting-edge machines already deliver more sustainable outcomes by design – offering higher energy efficiency, reduced waste, and extended product lifespans. Innovations in IoT, data analytics, and predictive maintenance further reduce operational impact and enhance long-term value for customers.
“Innovation is our DNA,” Ripple said. “Our strategy ensures that every breakthrough doesn’t just drive performance – it delivers lasting environmental and social benefit.”
“In our business, microns matter. That same level of precision guides our sustainability approach,” Ripple added. “Every reduction in emissions, every recycled part, every skill developed – it all adds up. Together, with our employees, customers, and partners, we’re not just keeping up with change – we’re driving it.”
