Sustainability at Plansee
Sustainability has played an essential role at Plansee since 1921. The Plansee lake is not only our namesake but also our energy source and is more important today than ever. Whether it relates to hydroelectric power, sustainable company management, recycling of materials, or global compliance with labor laws, sustainability has always had multiple dimensions at Plansee and is a core element of our corporate strategy, contributing to our commercial success.
We want to be even more sustainable in future and to use our innovative power to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. We take a holistic view of sustainability on the basis of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
Sustainability goals
We are focusing on the area in which we can make the biggest difference: our CO2 emissions.
- CO2 neutrality by 2030
By 2030, we will have reduced our direct emissions and indirect emissions from purchased energy by 75%. - Climate neutrality by 2050
With an overall reduction of 90% of our direct emissions, indirect emissions from purchased energy, and indirect emissions that occur along our value-added chain, we are aiming to be climate-neutral by 2050.

Initiatives to increase sustainability
Plansee HPM, part of the Plansee Group, joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in 2023, one of the world's most important initiatives for responsible corporate governance. As part of the UNGC, we are committed to supporting its ten principles, including respecting human rights, respecting the rights of employees and their representatives, protecting the environment, enabling fair competition, and combating corruption.
Plansee HPM joined the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in 2023 and committed to setting science-based climate targets. The initiative pursues the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, as set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. In 2024, we intend to obtain approval for our goals from the SBTi, which independently assesses and approves company targets based on strict climate science criteria.
