How can photonics companies turn sustainability from an ambition into a
practical reality?
At a recent EPIC online event, industry experts from ONEFAB, 3D AG, and
CSEM explored how smarter facility design, energy management,
and infrastructure decisions can significantly improve efficiency while
strengthening long-term resilience. Their insights reveal that building future-
ready operations is less about radical transformation—and more about
making thoughtful, strategic choices that deliver measurable impact.
EPIC has announced Jenoptik as the recipient of the EPIC Sustainability Award 2026, recognizing its strong commitment to sustainability as a core business enabler. Katrin Fleischer, Manager Investor Relations & Sustainability at Jenoptik, noted in her acceptance speech that the company aims to leverage photonics technologies to support customers in reducing emissions, improving efficiency, and advancing resource conservation across multiple industries.
As sustainability rises rapidly on the global corporate agenda, the photonics industry is stepping up with renewed ambition and strategic focus. This shift was clearly visible at the latest EPIC Sustainability Meeting, where industry leaders, innovators, and experts gathered to discuss how environmental and social responsibility is evolving from a compliance obligation into a driver of competitiveness, efficiency, and long‑term value creation.
