Mission & Goals
The Liebherr Group is a globally operating technology company that develops, manufactures and sells a wide range of industrial products and systems. Its activities include construction, earth moving and mining equipment, mobile and crawler cranes, maritime cranes, aerospace and transportation systems, refrigeration and freezing appliances, gear technology, automation systems and components for the mechanical engineering industry. In pursuing its business interests, the Liebherr Group engages with political, administrative, academic and economic stakeholders at national and European level. This includes participation in specialist events, industry dialogues and exchanges with representatives of ministries, parliaments and public authorities. Advocacy activities mainly relate to industrial, economic, technology, energy, climate, transport, research and trade policy frameworks, as well as regulation, standardization, innovation, infrastructure, sustainability and competitiveness.
EU Legislative Interests
At the European Union level, Liebherr Group’s activities are influenced by a wide range of policy initiatives and regulatory developments shaping the framework conditions for internationally active industrial companies. These include in particular developments in industrial, economic, technology, energy, climate, transport, research and trade policy. Relevant discussions frequently concern regulatory and standardization frameworks, the promotion of innovation and research, the development of resilient infrastructure, as well as broader questions related to sustainability and the long-term competitiveness of European industry. Examples of relevant policy areas include the implementation and further development of climate and energy legislation under the EU’s Fit for 55 package, including instruments such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Other relevant initiatives relate to the digital transformation of industry and transport, such as the EU Data Act. Trade policy issues are also of importance, including tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, customs duties or regulatory market access requirements in international trade, as well as the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. In addition, sector-specific European regulatory initiatives may be relevant, such as, for example, legislation related to machinery as well as EU regulations governing household and commercial refrigeration appliances. Such policy and regulatory developments may have a direct impact on industrial value chains, investment decisions, innovation activities and the competitive environment for globally operating manufacturing companies.
Communication Activities
The Liebherr Group engages in communication activities related to relevant EU policy initiatives to contribute its industrial and technical expertise to policy discussions. Such activities may include participation in conferences, workshops, roundtables and stakeholder meetings, as well as the preparation of publications, position papers or technical contributions. These exchanges may take place directly or in cooperation with industry associations and other stakeholders, with the aim of supporting an informed dialogue with policymakers on developments affecting industrial innovation, investment and competitiveness.
