Sustainability at Materials Services

_{BEYOND: Our way to the future – Acting more sustainable together}

With 380 sites in over 30 countries we take our role as one of the leading materials distribution and service provider worldwide seriously and operate responsible.

We pursue the vision of creating a world in which resources are used in the best possible way – for shared success and a sustainable future. We have defined exactly how we will achieve this in our sustainability strategy, called BEYOND. And BEYOND means what it says: We are guided by the official ESG standards and also focus on reducing the emissions of both our customers and our own company. The goal of our strategy: "net zero" by 2040.

In addition to reducing carbon emissions and improving the efficiency of our products and services, we are committed to promoting social sustainability. We support international education, diversity and equal opportunities, and are committed to being a responsible member global society.

We are also committed to providing innovative products and services to help our customers and partners on their path to climate neutrality. One example: We want to reduce the indirect emissions of our value chain (Scope 3) through the use of our products by at least 16% over the next few years. With our Product Carbon Footprint Calculator (PCF Calculator), we offer a precise way to calculate the emissions for each product in our portfolio. In this way, we help other companies meet their environmental goals and work together to build a more sustainable future.
