Sustainable. Viable. Responsible.

"Unser klares Bekenntnis zu nachhaltigem Handeln haben wir bereits im Heraeus Konzernleitbild dargelegt", erklärt Jan Rinnert, Vorsitzender Heraeus Holding Geschäftsführung

"As a family-owned company with a long-term orientation, we have naturally focused on sustainability in our business activities for generations. Those who aim to succeed in the long term must responsibly manage all the resources involved in the value creation chain. This includes the employees, and particularly the raw materials. Sustainability is consequently an important corporate principle for Heraeus.

Our economic success largely stems from business activities that pursue the goals of sustainability. We focus on businesses in the areas of the environment, health care, and mobility. With our Sustainability Report, we are documenting the areas of activity that underpin our sustainable conduct and the goals we have set for the future."

Jan Rinnert, Chairman of the Board of Management Heraeus Holding GmbH

With this sustainability report, Heraeus documents which fields of action are at the forefront of its sustainable actions and which goals the company has set itself for the future.

To achieve the company's goals, it is crucial to make sustainability performance measurable, transparent and thus comprehensible. In the sustainability report, Heraeus reports on the status of implementation and highlights outstanding measures and commitment at the various locations.
