Ecoresponsible activity
Let's reduce our ecological footprint
Forest fires, floods, unprecedented droughts... The need for urgent climate action has never been clearer: it's time to act. Companies around the world are taking responsibility, and Reynaers Aluminium is no exception.
Drawing inspiration from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Reynaers Group has set out to rethink its operations and reduce its carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. Let's explain how we will together achieve our goal.
The facts
The alarm bells are deafening, the evidence is irrefutable: we are at code red for humanity.
Our impact
To limit our environmental impact, we are focusing on reducing carbon emissions from both our own operations and those in our value chain. That way, we will cut our CO2 emissions in half by 2030.
Our actions
Act 1: Reduce CO2 emissions in our operations
By calling on greener electricity sources, by reinventing our company fleet with electric cars, and by building more energy-efficient warehouses, we can reduce our direct carbon emissions by 46% by 2030.

Act 2: Reduce CO2 emissions in our value chain
Our impact stretches farther than our own facilities. That is why we motivate our partners to follow our lead and go for green. By partnering up with sustainable suppliers that offer low-carbon recycled materials, we will cut our indirect carbon footprint with 55% by 2030.
Act 3: Invest in environmental management systems
The best way to control your day-to-day environmental actions is to implement efficient processes and responsible best practices. We closely monitor our waste management, sorting and recycling our packaging wherever possible. Too good to be true? The ISO standards we have achieved testify to our long-term commitment.
We take tactical, company-wide actions that have a significant impact.
