Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Together, we share a unified vision of a healthier, greener, and more sustainable world. Through innovation, dedication, and a commitment to responsible practices, we are taking tangible steps to transform this vision into a living reality. Transport is a crucial factor in the social and economic development of a country. JOST products are engineered with a keen focus on reducing environmental impact, lowering emissions, and enhancing efficiency. Moreover, our responsible practices extend to every aspect of our operations, from sourcing materials ethically to ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees. At JOST, sustainability isn't just a goal; it's a way of life. Our products aren't just components; they are essential contributors to improving the environmental footprint of trucks and trailers. Our actions and products speak volumes about our commitment to a better world, and we are resolute in our mission to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

JOST Australia Sustainability Actions

Sustainable product development & resource efficiency

Excessive material consumption causes negative environmental impacts. JOST products and packaging are designed with a strong emphasis on sustainability, aiming to mitigate these impacts by using materials efficiently. This practice includes aspects such as reducing energy and water consumption, minimising raw material waste, and implementing lean manufacturing processes. This reduces waste, minimises the extraction of natural resources, and lowers the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing. In 2022, we were able to reduce our CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) per production hour by 15.0 % compared to 2021 and by 35.2 % compared to the base year 2020. Material efficiency: Products are engineered to use materials efficiently. This reduces waste, minimises the extraction of natural resources, and lowers the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing. Lightweight design: JOST's products are specifically designed for weight optimisation. Lightweight components, such as aluminium landing legs and lightweight fifth wheels, not only enhance fuel efficiency in transportation but also reduce emissions. Lowering the weight of products directly contributes to a more sustainable supply chain and environmental footprint. Reduced contamination: JOST's use of biodegradable high-performance lubricants minimises environmental contamination. This ensures that our products are not only efficient but also environmentally friendly, reducing the ecological impact over the product's lifecycle. Occupational safety and health: The introduction of assistance systems like KKS, Drawbar Finder, and King Pin Finder in JOST's products enhances occupational safety and health protection for users. By focusing on these aspects, we strive to create products that are not only efficient but also environmentally responsible. This commitment to sustainable product design reduces material waste, promotes energy efficiency, and contributes to a healthier and more environmentally friendly operation in line with our sustainability principles.

National after sales support

We recognise that providing reliable aftersales support is not only about product maintenance but also aligns with our sustainability objectives. Our nationwide JOST aftersales training sessions are dedicated to equipping repairers and fleets with the knowledge and skills to ensure the longevity and eco-friendly operation of their JOST products. In addition to our training programs, we offer a comprehensive range of sustainable service tools and gauges, meticulously designed to reduce environmental impact and promote component durability. From energy-efficient fifth wheel lifting aids to eco-friendly lock test tools and recyclable tow eyes gauges, JOST's sustainable tools not only simplify maintenance tasks but also minimise the carbon footprint, making operations both environmentally responsible and cost-effective.

Responsible supply chain

By holding ourselves accountable for our supply chain, we look to ensure that our suppliers adhere to sustainable and ethical practices. This includes assessing suppliers' environmental impact, labour conditions, and social responsibility. By integrating a uniform evaluation process, we can consistently measure and improve supplier performance in these areas, promoting responsible sourcing, reducing the company's environmental footprint, and contributing to sustainable and ethical business practices throughout our supply chain.
