Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future
Creating Value Responsibly
At Heinzel Group, we are committed to using resources such as energy, wood, fibers and water efficiently and to closing material cycles wherever possible. Our products are based on renewable or recycled materials and are designed to ensure recyclability. Wherever possible, we also recover residual materials and by-products for material or energy use.
Our Sustainability Strategy and 2030 Targets provide guidance for this approach. They guide our actions across our own operations as well as our collaboration with employees, business partners and the communities in the regions where we operate.
On this page, we show how sustainability is embedded across Heinzel Group, which topics we focus on, and the targets and key performance indicators we use to track our progress.
Value Chain
We care about the environment and cooperation in this matter is important to us. That’s why we strive for an eco-friendly value chain in our everyday life. We also seek to ensure sustainable cooperation among our employees, customers and within society.
Strategy
Back in 2022, HEINZEL GROUP reformulated its mid-term strategic planning for the period to 2030 and remains firmly committed to this. The focus is on exploiting the Group’s own recyclables and residual materials to extract energy as well as on greater collaboration and teamwork within the Group.
At HEINZEL GROUP , sustainability is a core element of the corporate strategy. It shapes our vision, mission, and purpose, and guides daily operations and long-term decisions.
Sustainable growth requires proactive thinking and actions aligned with partners, people, and the planet. This principle is embedded in the strategic framework and drives continuous improvement. HEINZEL GROUP applies a holistic sustainability approach based on the ESG dimensions: Environment, Social, and Governance. Therefore we hold various policies, certifications and ratings at group and local levels, which are summarized in this section.
PLANET
At HEINZEL GROUP we dedicate ourselves to climate action, resource efficiency, and responsible production. Heinzel Group voluntary committed to the Science Based Target Initiative through defossilizing our processes, maximizing renewable energy use, and decreasing energy consumption. Doing so we are targeting to reduce our emissions by 42% (Scope 1 and 2) and by 25% (Scope 3) until 2030 and by 90 % until 2050.
HEINZEL GROUP has formalized its commitment to climate protection with a new Climate Policy that aligns with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions. This underscores our proactive role in addressing climate change through science-based measures.
HEINZEL GROUP ’s climate strategy is backed by external validation. In 2025, we received an A rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), recognizing our transparency and performance in climate-related disclosures. Furthermore, our climate transition plan have also been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming our alignment with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Climate Agreement.
