Our sustainable solutions for strong partnerships and a common purpose

We are our customers' first choice for sustainable products and services that help them decarbonize their supply chains and ensure social standards.


As an organization, we will be climate-neutral from 2030. We are achieving this goal together with our customers and a product portfolio whose carbon footprint has been significantly reduced. For example, the first batches of C02-reduced steel are already available to our customers. To make supply chains sustainable, we already offer services and solutions for reducing greenhouse gases and recycling products.

In line with the approach anchored in our corporate vision, we think along the entire value chain rather than in terms of individual components. As a result, we are working simultaneously on many sustainable solutions. You can see some examples here.
