Products, People, Planet

As a family company, we at Röchling stand for value-based and sustainable action. We treat the environment and society as we do our customers, partners and employees: with mutual respect, great regard and considerable trust. We divide our focus topics into the three fields of action Products, People, Planet.

Products

The focus is on our products and therefore our customers. We create competitive advantages for our customers and actively support them in achieving their sustainability goals. Our focus topics:

Sustainable products & innovations

With our sustainable products and innovations we contribute to the sustainability of our customers' applications and conserve resources.

Circular economy

We are strengthening the circular economy as one of the most important tasks of the plastics industry. We pursue different approaches for the individual requirements of our company divisions. 

Product quality & product safety

We continuously optimize the quality and safety of our products with clearly defined processes and responsibilities.

Röchling-BioBoom® & Röchling-ReLoop®

As a global plastics expert, we are aware of our special responsibility towards the environment, our customers, partners and employees. With our product families Röchling-BioBoom® and Röchling-ReLoop®, we are continuously expanding our portfolio of bioplastics and high-quality recycled materials. Our goal is to reduce our environmental footprint and increase sustainability in our customers’ applications.

Our three corporate divisions Automotive, Industrial and Medical have individual sustainability product portfolios that they are continuously developing specifically for the requirements of our customers in their respective markets.

With our Röchling-BioBoom® product family of bioplastics, we extract bio-based raw materials and conserve fossil resources. Röchling-BioBoom® includes bio-based plastics and mass-balanced bioplastics.

 

Our Röchling-ReLoop® product family for high-quality recycled materials conserves valuable resources and closes material cycles. Röchling-ReLoop® is available as a post-consumer recycling or post-industrial recycling product.

 

People

The focus is on our more than 11,600 employees. We are continuously working on a sustainable, safe and diverse working environment. Our focus topics are:

We attach great importance to recognizing, promoting and developing the potential of our employees. An attractive working environment with motivated, qualified and inquisitive employees is of great importance for securing the future of our company.

The health of our employees is our top priority. Occupational safety, health protection and prevention are firmly anchored in our corporate guidelines.

Diversity, inclusion & equal opportunity

As an international company, we focus on diversity, equal opportunities and the compatibility of family and work. This is reflected in a wide range of measures in our three corporate divisions.

The focus is on our environment. We are constantly reducing our ecological footprint. Our focus topics are:

Climate change

We are systematically reducing our greenhouse gas footprint through measures to increase efficiency, procurement and self-sufficiency.

Responsible use of energy and resources

We use energy and resources in our processes as efficiently as possible and handle them responsibly.

Materiality analysis

Our key sustainability topics were identified in 2023 in a systematic process with multiple stages: 

1. Longlist and shortlist: Creation of a longlist of potential sustainability topics from various sustainability standards. Condensing the longlist into a shortlist on the basis of individual interviews with managers and external experts. 

2. Online and expert survey: Evaluation of the shortlist via a global online survey, to which our 11,600-plus employees were invited. Specialists and managers evaluated the topics in an expert  survey. 

3. Executive Board workshops: The results were reflected on and evaluated in Executive Board workshops . The outcome is our strategic focus topics, which are assigned to the three fields of action PRODUCTS, PEOPLE, and PLANET. We as a company, have the biggest influence on these topics, or these topics present the biggest opportunities and risks for our companies. 

4. Goals and measures: For each of these topics, working groups comprising internal experts developed goals and measures for implementation. These goals have been adopted by the Executive Board.

Signatory to the United Nations Global Compact

 

As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, human rights are a central concern for our company. This affects both our own business area and our supply chains. In our code of conduct, we describe how we see ourselves and what we expect of all employees and business partners. In addition to respecting human rights, the focus is also on labor and social standards, environmental protection, health and safety.

Sustainable Development Goals

 

 

With its “Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development” (Agenda 2030 for short), the United Nations (UN) have defined how global economic progress should be designed in harmony with social justice. The goals of this agenda are formulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As an international company, we would like to contribute to achieving these goals with our business activities.
