Röchling Sustainability Strategy
Röchling Sustainability Strategy: Products, People, Planet
With more than 200 years of corporate history, the Röchling Group has undergone many transformations – from coal trading and steel production to high-performance plastics. Change is part of our DNA, as is long-term thinking and responsible action.
Today, the global shift towards greater sustainability offers a new opportunity to evolve. As a reliable partner to our customers, employees, and suppliers, we take responsibility for the environmental and social impact of our actions – collaborating to improve sustainability in plastics processing.
Our Sustainability Strategy – Products, People, Planet – sets out our core goals
- Support our customers with sustainable products and create competitive advantages
- Ensure a safe, inclusive, and future-ready working environment for over 11,600 employees
- Continuously reduce our ecological footprint across all operations
We are committed to implementing this strategy across all divisions – Automotive, Industrial, and Medical – with tailored approaches aligned to each market. Guided by internal and external experts, we continually adapt to new requirements and sustainability trends. We are acting for tomorrow – with a long-term vision for a better future.
