“Transformer manufacturing does not belong to major environmental polluters, and therefore, does not pose a great threat to the population and nature. Nevertheless, product lifecycle-based thinking at D&ST is manifested in the reduction of the use of natural resources and emissions into the environment, good procurement practices, and recycling capabilities at the end of the product’s life cycle.
As transformers are key structures in creating electricity grids of various voltage levels, and thus an essential link in the global goals of reducing environmental impacts, we strive together with our end customers and partners to develop and apply new technologies. By continuous reduction of transformer losses, usage of new materials with a reduced impact on the environment, and improvement of the circular flow of raw materials, we are working together to support the energy transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
In this manner, we achieve cleaner products and processes, a competitive market advantage and an improved platform to fulfil the requirements of the volatile business climate.”
