Sustainability | De Martin Group – Surface Technology
Sustainable surface solutions create measurable added value for customers and the environment.
For us, sustainability and surface technology go hand in hand. Functional surfaces can help to make components more durable, resilient and efficient. Depending on the application, this can conserve resources, reduce maintenance requirements and extend product life cycles.
Together with our customers, we develop surface solutions that combine technical requirements with sustainability goals.
Responsibility for the environment, people and the future
As a company specialising in functional surfaces and industrial surface technology, we bear responsibility for the environment, people and resources. That is why we are constantly refining our processes and combining technological innovation with the responsible use of energy, materials and resources.
Our roadmap to 2030 sets out specific targets and measures for more sustainable production. In doing so, we consider not only our own operations, but also our supply chain and the entire life cycle of our solutions.
Energy & Climate
Energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are key components of our sustainability strategy. We are constantly optimising our production processes, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and exploring options for an increasingly climate-friendly energy supply.
Our priorities:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Improving energy efficiency in production
- Use of renewable energy
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions
- Ongoing monitoring of relevant environmental indicators
- Development of specific climate targets by 2030
Sustainable production
Sustainable surface technology begins with efficient and controlled production processes. We are constantly working to use materials, energy, water, chemicals and waste as efficiently as possible, whilst ensuring high quality standards.
In doing so, we focus on:
- Resource-efficient production processes
- Efficient use of materials and chemicals
- Reduction of production waste
- Optimisation of water and energy consumption
- Continuous process improvement
- High quality standards and reproducible processes
Our key sustainability priorities
Sustainability is firmly embedded in our corporate strategy. By focusing on the areas of energy & climate, sustainable production, water & resources, responsible supply chains, and governance & responsibility, we are laying the foundations for the sustainable development of the De Martin Group.
Responsibility in the supply chain
Sustainability does not end at our own production sites. Together with suppliers and partners, we promote responsible behaviour throughout the entire value chain. By setting clear requirements in the areas of the environment, social responsibility and corporate ethics, we create transparency and long-term partnerships.
This includes:
- Long-term cooperation based on partnership
- Taking sustainability criteria into account when selecting suppliers
- Transparent and responsible procurement
- Compliance with defined quality and compliance requirements
- Continuous development of our supplier partnerships
