3 key strategies to boost ESG strategy

As sustainability takes center stage in our industry’s future, adopting concrete measures is essential for that enhancing environmental performance. Here are three impactful actions shaping a more sustainable abrasives sector:

001. Reducing carbon footprint

Managing product carbon footprint is fundamental to sustainability efforts. By calculating a company’s carbon footprint, we can identify opportunities to cut emissions at every stage of production. The SEAM Carbon Footprint Project, in collaboration with EFESO, will soon provide a practical measurement tool for all participating members. Initial results are anticipated in November. Stay tuned!

002. Minimize the use of toxic products

Moving towards safer chemical alternatives in abrasive production is an important step for a healthier industry. A majority of European abrasives companies have been actively contributing to this shift, from eliminating harmful substances like naphthalene to introducing innovative products to the market. Their efforts highlight ongoing innovation within the industry offering valuable examples. Be inspired!

003. Embracing the circular economy!

Adopting a circular economy mindset in abrasives manufacturing offers duel benefits: it significantly reduces the production of waste and enables the recycling of by-products. This approach cut costs, improves efficiency, and decreases resource consumption while reducing environmental impact: a true win-win!
