The PIERER Mobility Group is considered a technology pioneer in the premium motorcycle segment and is also one of the largest employers in Upper Austria. For KTM AG, as the leading motorcycle manufacturer in Europe, it is our declared goal to continue to grow to further expand our leading role when it comes to technology, sales and sustainability in the world of motorcycling. Research and development have therefore been the focus of our activities for many years. This generates economic growth (SDG 8.1), while attractive jobs comprising interesting tasks as well as opportunities for further training and promotion give employees the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, and new and valuable jobs are created (SDG 8.5, SDG 9.2).

The pursuit of technological progress and the promotion of innovation are the cornerstones of the PIERER Mobility Group's business model. Our stated goal is to further expand our pioneering role in terms of technology, sales and sustainability in the powered two-wheeler world through continuous growth. The progressive R&D strategy has produced innovative products which meet the high expectations of our customers in terms of technology, performance and efficiency.

Using natural resources efficiently and taking measures to avoid, reduce and recycle waste materials contribute to SDG 12. As far as the development and production of its products are concerned, the PIERER Mobility Group attaches importance to the efficient use of raw materials in a manner that conserves resources, and to environmentally sustainable operations.

The PIERER Mobility Group is conscious of the contribution that its operating activities make to climate change and supports SDG 13 with measures to combat climate change. For example, the company shares the ACEM strategy for decarbonization of Powered Two-Wheelers (PTWs) by 2050 and is working with project partners on concepts for sustainable mobility in urban habitats (SDG 13.2). An important aspect in the development of homologated vehicles is the reduction of exhaust and noise emissions.

The PIERER Mobility Group believes that all employees have a right to work in a safe, fair and respectful environment that promotes equal opportunities. This is stated in the Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Policy and practiced accordingly. In addition to measures for flexible working arrangements - such as working from home, flexible working hours and part-time positions - women in STEM professions receive specific support. This is resulting in an increase in female apprentices in technical areas as well as an overall increase in the number of female employees in the company, not least in management positions (SDG 5.5). The Code of Conduct strictly prohibits all discrimination, which is again addressed in the above-mentioned policy, defined and explained in more detail, and also backed up with disciplinary measures. This is helping to end discrimination (SDG 5.1).

The PIERER Mobility Group advocates the respective national anti-corruption provisions and the international directives or recommendations (e.g. UNCAC, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises). It does not tolerate any practices in which business transactions are concluded by unfair means (SDG 16.5).
