Do you trust that corporate sustainability reports accurately reflect a company's environmental impact?

Atmus Filtration Technologies published its second annual sustainability report in 2025, documenting environmental efforts across its operations on six continents. The document highlights the integration of Koch Filter Corporation into the company's broader sustainability initiatives.

Why it matters

The company aims to mitigate its global environmental footprint by standardizing resource efficiency across its extensive infrastructure. This report marks the latest step in aligning operations with established international reporting frameworks.

Atmus operates a network of 14 manufacturing facilities and 10 distribution centers supported by 5 technical centers globally. This infrastructure footprint is now being evaluated against UN Sustainable Development Goals, SASB Auto Parts standards, and GRI reporting metrics.

The players

Atmus Filtration Technologies

A global manufacturer of filtration systems and components that operates across six continents.

Koch Filter Corporation

A filter manufacturing company acquired by Atmus in 2025.

The details

Atmus is leveraging the newly launched Design for Sustainability Standard, an engineering process that assesses product environmental impact throughout the lifecycle. By incorporating these standards, the company aims to reduce water and raw material usage while increasing renewable energy consumption. This approach now encompasses the operations of the recently acquired Koch Filter Corporation.

Timeline

  1. Atmus launched the Safety Pledge and Design for Sustainability Standard in 2025.

  2. The acquisition of Koch Filter Corporation was completed in 2025.

  3. The second annual sustainability report was published in 2025.

The Tech Race

The report follows guidelines set by the SASB Auto Parts Standard to measure operational efficiency. Atmus utilizes this benchmark alongside GRI and UN standards to formalize its trajectory toward reduced resource consumption.

The transition to the Design for Sustainability Standard will influence future product engineering workflows at Atmus and its newly integrated units. These internal changes aim to improve long-term material efficiency rather than impacting immediate consumer product availability.

The takeaway

Atmus is shifting its global manufacturing processes toward standardized sustainability metrics following the integration of Koch Filter. Watch for the next annual report to see if the company discloses quantitative progress in water and energy usage against its 2025 baselines.
