External validation sends a strong signal for sustainability

Sustainability has become a decisive factor in modern industrial manufacturing, shaping innovation strategies and long-term competitiveness. For CERATIZIT, responsibility toward the environment and society is not a separate initiative, but an integral part of how advanced manufacturing solutions are developed, produced, and delivered to customers worldwide.

This approach has recently received strong external confirmation, reinforcing CERATIZIT’s position as a reliable and forward-looking industrial partner.

Platinum recognition for a consistent sustainability strategy

CERATIZIT has been awarded the Platinum Medal by EcoVadis, placing the company among the top 1% of more than 150,000 organizations assessed globally. The rating reflects the depth and consistency of CERATIZIT’s sustainability management system, as well as its commitment to transparency across the entire value chain.

Rather than focusing on isolated measures, CERATIZIT has embedded sustainability into core business processes, ensuring that environmental, social, and ethical considerations are aligned with operational excellence and customer expectations.

Sustainable manufacturing starts at home

At CERATIZIT, sustainability starts within its own production facilities. Advanced manufacturing technologies are combined with a responsible use of energy, materials, and resources, allowing the company to continuously improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact. This integrated approach supports stable, high-performance processes that meet the demanding requirements of metalworking applications.

For customers, this translates into more than product performance alone. It means partnering with a manufacturer that understands how sustainability and productivity can go hand in hand, even in energy-intensive and high-precision industrial environments.

Science-based targets for long-term impact

The Platinum rating is part of a broader, clearly defined sustainability roadmap. In June 2025, CERATIZIT’s short- and long-term climate targets were officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, confirming alignment with the 1.5°C pathway of the Paris Agreement.

These targets reflect CERATIZIT’s commitment to significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations and value chain, with the objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. The focus is on measurable progress, long-term planning, and tangible results that support customers in meeting their own sustainability goals.

Sustainability as a driver for customer value

The aim is to further strengthen sustainability as a strategic driver and to leverage it as a differentiating factor that delivers real value for customers across multiple industries.

External validation from EcoVadis and SBTi goes beyond recognition. It sends a clear message to the manufacturing sector: CERATIZIT is taking responsibility and actively contributing to a more sustainable future for industrial production.
