Sustainability at Ananda

Empowering sustainable mobility, together.

This page highlights what we do, and why it matters, as part of our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) excellence.

At Ananda, sustainability is not just a goal, it’s how we shape the future of mobility. As a leading e-drive system supplier, we know that every motor we produce has a ripple effect: on the environment, on communities, and on the transport systems of tomorrow. That’s why we align our operations, innovation, and services with long-term environmental and social responsibility.

Helping our customers achieve their ESG targets

We actively support our OEM and brand partners in their own ESG journeys, because we know sustainability is a shared responsibility.

“These actions go beyond compliance, they offer real value for partners looking to integrate sustainability into every link of their supply chain.”

CBAM Ready (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)

CBAM is a new EU regulation requiring imported goods to report their carbon footprint.

We’re prepared for this and it ensures that our products meet upcoming carbon disclosure rules, helping our European partners stay compliant, competitive, and transparent in their supply chain reporting.

SBTi Commitment (Science-Based Targets initiative)

We’ve signed the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Confirming our intent to align with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C trajectory. This builds trust with customers looking to reduce their Scope 3 emissions and partner with suppliers who share their climate goals.

Repair, don’t replace

Our dedicated repair center in Hungary extends the life of motors and controllers, reducing waste and material use.

This supports circularity and gives customers a lower-carbon, lower-cost alternative to full replacement.

Sustainable packaging solutions

We’re phasing in packaging made from renewable and recyclable materials, while also introducing reusable formats.

This cuts down on single-use waste and improves the carbon performance of every product delivered.

Recyclability & recycled content

Our engineering team is exploring more sustainable material options, without compromising quality.

By increasing recyclability and recycled content, we reduce dependence on virgin raw materials and lower embedded emissions.

Strong inclusion of women

We actively encourage women’s participation across all levels of our organization, from engineering and production to marketing, service, and management.

Women represent one-third of our board management, ensuring that strategic decisions benefit from diverse perspectives.

Why quality matters for sustainability.

A product that lasts is a product that wastes less. Quality is not just a performance metric — it’s a sustainability pillar.

Durability
Fewer replacements, less waste, and lower lifecycle emissions

Traceability
Better control over materials and end-of-life processing

Consistency
Lower failure rates, less transport, and improved user satisfaction

Real-world testing
Proves that our systems can withstand daily use, tough conditions, and long-term wear

By building systems that are robust, repairable, and traceable, we help reduce environmental impact at every stage of the product’s life.

Certified management systems with real impact.

At Ananda, we’ve built an integrated management system that reflects our deep commitment to ESG principles — not just in words, but in structure and practice.
We are proud to be certified under the following internationally recognized standards.

 

    • ISO 9001 – Quality Management : Ensures product reliability and consistent quality, essential for customer trust and long-term value creation.

 

    • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management : Guides us in minimizing environmental impact throughout our operations and product lifecycle.

 

    • ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety : Guarantees a safe, supportive working environment for all employees — a key aspect of our social responsibility.

 

    • ISO 50001 – Energy Management : Drives us to continuously improve energy efficiency, directly reducing our carbon footprint.

 

    • ISO 14064 – Greenhouse Gas Accounting : Enables transparent reporting and verification of GHG emissions, supporting measurable climate action.

 

    • ISO 14067 – Product Carbon Footprint : Assesses the carbon footprint of our products, helping us — and our customers — make more sustainable choices.

 

    • BSCI Certification – Social Compliance : Confirms that our suppliers and factories uphold fair labor conditions, human rights, and ethical business practices.

 

  • TÜV Partnership – Product Testing : We work with TÜV for independent lab testing and certification, ensuring safety, durability, and compliance with international standards.

These certifications are more than labels.

They are a foundation for continuous improvement and ESG impact across every part of our business..

Process reengineering

We redesigned 36 core business processes

to reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and enhance traceability.

Workplace improvements

We carried out 97 safety and ergonomics upgrades

Protecting workers and increasing operational safety — key pillars of social responsibility.

Lifecycle Management

We now monitor and optimize environmental performance

Across the entire product lifecycle, from raw material use to end-of-life recovery.

Energy Efficiency

We’ve implemented data-driven energy monitoring and reduction strategies

Across our operations — lowering our energy footprint while improving output.

Smart factory,

smarter sustainability.

Accelerating the clean energy transition

We’ve committed to reducing our operational carbon footprint through a mix of renewables, efficiency, and certification:

solar generated in 2024 303,505 kWh
green energy at Wuxi site
by 2026 (target)
100%
underway to formalize
our low-emissions infrastructure
Green Factory certification

“These actions reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions, supporting both our own climate goals and those of our customers.”

Looking ahead: A clear and accountable roadmap.

We’re not just focused on today’s improvements. We’re building a roadmap for continuous progress.

ESG Framework Development
Our internal systems are being aligned to support annual sustainability reporting.

SBTi Submission in 2028
Setting science-based emissions reduction targets for the entire organization.

Circular Economy Integration
Expanding repair, refurbishment, and component reuse programs.

Cleaner Motor Technology
Advancing permanent motor designs that minimize rare earth use and improve energy efficiency.

Our vision is to create a business model where each new innovation strengthens our competitive edge.

It should also increase our contribution to the climate.

Green + Smart: Our dual strategy for long-term impact.

At Ananda, we’ve adopted a dual transformation strategy: At Ananda, Green + Smart. We believe that technology and sustainability must evolve together. By combining digital manufacturing with low emission operations, we’re shaping a future where performance, transparency, and environmental responsibility are not trade-offs — they go hand in hand.


Whether you’re an OEM looking to meet new carbon targets, a mobility brand seeking circular solutions, or a partner who values long-term resilience — we’re here to move forward with you.

Let’s build a better ride
— and a better future.
