Sustainable. Viable. Responsible.

“Since the founding of the Heraeus family pharmacy in 1660, our entrepreneurial activities have repeatedly required adjustments to changing conditions in order to take advantage of new opportunities. Sustainability has become a central entrepreneurial guiding principle and has long been incorporated into the principles of our entrepreneurial and social actions. In the recently published mission statement “Heraeus 2025”, we have again committed ourselves to further anchoring responsibility in our company and to pursuing environmental, social, and governance goals.

With this report, we document which fields of action are at the forefront for us and which goals we have set ourselves for the future. In addition, we were able to expand our data transparency in the reporting period laying the foundation for the further development of our sustainability strategy. This progress is important in order to anchor sustainability even deeper in the company.”

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

At Heraeus, we value responsible conduct highly, and it contributes to our long-term success. Those who aim to succeed in the long term must deal responsibly with resources, their social environment, business partners and employees.
