Exide Technologies unveils ESG Report 2025

Exide Technologies recently released its latest ESG report, to show its commitment in sustainable battery innovation. Less than a month ago, we wrote about Gel Tensor batteries being used in JS Davidson’s forklift fleet. 

For Exide, ESG Means Taking a Step Forward in Sustainability

Forklifts are a familiar application at Exide Technologies, as demonstrated by its attendance at Logimat. With the ESG, Exide aims to report on its support for decarbonisation on a larger scale.

Building on the momentum of its inaugural report last year, as well as the launch of its 2024 to 2030 Sustainability Strategy, the 2025 ESG report offers a comprehensive overview of Exide Technologies’ environmental, social, and governance performance. It highlights the company’s impact, progress, and recognition over the past 12 months, while also serving as a blueprint for future commitments. 

Exide’s 2025 ESG report is based on the current version of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), demonstrating the company’s proactive approach to evolving regulatory expectations. 

The report is structured in three chapters that guide Exide’s sustainability efforts, including key topics with a focus on respective impacts, risks and opportunities, policies and actions, metrics and targets.

These pillars guide Exide’s actions across climate change mitigation, circular economy principles, workforce development and responsible business conduct. Tangible achievements include a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, investments in renewable energy, climate risk assessment for our plants, development of training programs or implementation of sound suppliers due diligence process.  

Straight from the CEO and President

Stefan Stübing, President & CEO of Exide Technologies said: “As we look ahead, we remain focused on continuous improvement. We understand that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We will continue to engage with our stakeholders, adapt to emerging challenges, and lead with purpose and integrity. Navigating a rapidly evolving energy landscape, our commitment to innovation, resilience, and responsible growth remains steadfast.”
