Sustainable Development Goals

Health and Safety of our employees and business partners are 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. The safe handling of our pigments and pigment preparations is always our focus. To this end, we comply with all national and international provisions, laws, and regulations, and even exceed the requirements in some cases.

 

We offer our employees outstanding working conditions at all our sites. In addition to that we are committed to high standards with regard to working and rest times, wages, work-life balance, inclusion and non-discrimination. Our Heubach 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 certified Product Carbon Footprints.
