Driving CSR in robotics

Building a Better Future, One Choice at a Time

At ABI, sustainability isn’t a checkbox — it’s the way we build, innovate, and show up every day. We believe businesses have the power to shape a better tomorrow, so we’re taking action where it matters most: for our planet, for our people, and for every customer.

Our journey is driven by collaboration. From employees on the shop floor to suppliers across the world and customers building the future of bakery & pastry production, we’re moving forward together — with purpose. We believe today’s choices shape tomorrow’s world. That’s why we integrate sustainability into everything we do—from our operations and supply chain to our partnerships with employees and customers across North America and beyond.

Our CEO, Alyson Slapkauskas, captures this vision perfectly: “Over time, I would like ABI to be recognized as the innovation hub of sustainable baking equipment, where ROI, automation, and sustainability intersect. For me, sustainability is about creating long-term value through balancing environmental, social and economic responsibility.”
— Alyson Slapkauskas, CEO of ABI

3 PILLARS OF COMMITMENT TO GUIDE OUR MISSION                                        

These pillars guide the way we think, work, and grow — ensuring CSR remains at the heart of our strategy.

1. ACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Reducing our footprint today, to protect tomorrow.

We’re transforming the way we operate to minimize our environmental impact. That means smarter resource management, cleaner practices, and choices that prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term convenience.
Every improvement — big or small — helps us contribute to a healthier planet.

2. ACT FOR PEOPLE

Creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring place to work.

People are the foundation of everything we do.
We’re committed to protecting their safety, supporting their growth, and ensuring their well-being — inside and outside the workplace.
From our employees to every partner involved in a project’s lifecycle, we value the human side of innovation.

3. ACT FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

Co‑creating sustainable value, built to last.

Our customers face complex challenges — and together, we turn them into opportunities. We design innovative, integrated solutions that help improve plant performance while reducing environmental impact.
By exchanging best practices and collaborating openly, we support our customers in advancing their sustainability goals.
