We publish clear ESG principles and a compact KPI Set that scales from R&D to production. Below you’ll find what we do across Environment, Social and Governance – and how track progress.
Our TripleHard® technology uses trivalent chromium, replacing harmful hexavalent chromium.
Our solutions help customers meet applicable requirements (e.g., REACH) and reduce emissions, chemical use and waste.
We continuously improve to reduce energy and water use as well as material losses.
We provide a safe and inclusive work environment. We build competence through training and open feedback.
We operate transparently with customers and partners, respecting human rights across the value chain.
We adhere to good governance, ethical principles, and legal obligations.
The management team/Board oversees ESG targets and reports on progress.
Information security, data protection and risk management are integral to our management system.
Activation rule (intensity KPIs): KPIs go live once the rolling 3-month production is ≥ 40 hours/month or ≥ 20 batches/month. The baseline is set after the first full 3-month period. Reporting is quarterly after activation.
Electricity used for coating relative to production volume (R&D: kWh per production hour. In continuous production: kWh per m² coated)
Lower energy per output means lower costs and a smaller footprint as production scales
Target: -15% vs. baseline by 2027
Activation: Activation rule
Reporting: Quarterly after activation

High recycling rates cut water, wastewater volumes, and chemical losses
Target: ≥ 90% by 2026
