Sustainability at Heubach Group

• Health and safety of our employees and business partners is a priority at Heubach. Through a variety of different measures, such as internal awareness programs, certifications, regular training we ensure meeting our high standards of quality and safety.

• We offer our employees outstanding working conditions at all our sites. Health and safety are priorities worldwide. In addition to that we are (also) committed to high standards with regard to working and rest times, pay, work-life balance, inclusion and non-discrimination.
• Our Code of Conduct provides the corresponding guidance.
• Responsible sourcing is key to us to ensure compliance with human and labor rights along the value chain.

• From research and development to raw material purchasing to production, storage, transport, and further processing to sales and disposal: At Heubach, product responsibility consists of handling chemical substances and products safely and without hazards along the entire product life cycle.
• We are a pioneer in the development of sustainable color technologies, including bio-based materials and the substitution of questionable materials to improve environmental characteristics and spearhead regulatory compliance.

• The production of pigments and pigment preparations is particularly energy intensive. In view of climate change, we see it as our responsibility to reduce our emissions as much as possible. The increase of energy efficiency and the switch to renewable energies is therefore one of our top priorities. Many of our products contribute to reduce the footprint further down the value chain.
• We strive for high transparency of our carbon footprint supporting our customers in their environmental decisions with our Product Carbon Footprints.

From research and development to production and disposal, we focus on product responsibility. In addition to integrating sustainability aspects more closely in our product development, this also means actions such as drawing up a do-not-use list for our most important product lines.

Environmental Protection

Economically sensible actions must always be ecologically sensible as well.  We are working to improve the energy efficiency of our production and to significantly reduce pollutant emissions and waste volumes. Through the measures we put in place, we want to assume responsibility for protecting the environment. After all, cross-generational thinking is part of our corporate history.

Employees & Society

Trust, respect, diversity and fair cooperation in the workplace are vital. By adopting a responsible approach to working conditions, we want to ensure a corporate culture that is characterized by dialog.  After all, it is primarily our employees who contribute to Heubach’s economic success with their expertise and commitment.
