Sustainable future
Sustainability is an extremely urgent theme and affects everyone. The time to act is now because real change does not happen overnight. We have developed our “thyssenkrupp Materials Services Sustainability Manifesto” to support our goal of creating a world in which resources are used in the best possible way – for joint success and a sustainable future.
This manifesto defines our ambition as Materials Service provider and underlines our clear goal: we are going “beyond clean, green and good”.
Beyond clean
Fighting climate change and protecting biodiversity is central to us. Therefore, we will operate climate neutrally by 2030 and will reduce all forms of environmental pollution continuously. We will be climate neutral 20 years earlier than previously planned, and 20 years earlier than the EU is having as an ambitious target. As we are the biggest international organization in the Region, we want to contribute and take our responsibility in the market to change the environment.
This includes the increase of the use of green electricity, conversion of lighting to LED, photovoltaic systems, and further energy efficiency measures.
Beyond green
We would like to be our customers’ first choice for the products and services that they need to decarbonize their supply chain and meet their social criteria. We want to create an ecosystem of green materials suppliers across the Eastern European region and become the Nr. 1. supplier of sustainable materials solutions.
To achieve this, we offer environmentally friendly services and products. We provide transparency on CO2 content; we apply green steel and work in increasing the share of recycled products constantly.
Beyond good
Acting as a responsible member of global society is key to our company. By fostering diversity, enriching the communities in which we live, supporting the education of the region and raising social standards in our supply chain, we will contribute to creating a sustainable world – for our employees, partners, and society.
We strengthen our social commitments and provide structured support to the local communities. We consistently work on creating a diverse culture and it is a priority for us to treat everyone equally.
CarbonChain project
thyssenkrupp Materials Services Eastern Europe has reached a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with specialist carbon accounting software provider, CarbonChain, to develop an approach to track metal production greenhouse gas emissions and define standards for supplier transparency.
Together, both companies will foster the adoption of digital solutions to track GHG emissions across supply chains. This project is set to enhance transparency for thyssenkrupp Materials Services Eastern Europe, alongside other industry leaders, with detailed insights into its supply chain carbon hotspots, product carbon footprints, and opportunities for emissions reductions.
The overall goal is to support the announced wider decarbonization goals. Suppliers will be able to join in the effort for their own reporting and emissions reduction targets.
