Sustainability is the core of our business. The foundation of our production, the value of our products. For Speira, sustainable action goes well beyond CO2 reduction. A sustainable approach also includes a high degree of transparency in processes and business procedures. Both topics describe much more than a strategy or vision - they are part of our Speira culture and shape the way we work together internally as well as with our partners and customers.
We support all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and in particular:
We offer an open and inclusive work environment, challenging tasks, and excellent opportunities for professional development. We place a strong emphasis on the personal well-being and recognition of all employees’ achievements, and we ensure a healthy work-life balance. Personal safety and health are always our top priority.
We support various educational projects—both for our own employees and for the communities where we operate. For example, we collaborate with MEGAfoN—a nationwide network dedicated to combating the spread of misinformation and promoting critical thinking and the formation of independent opinions; Speira’s contribution focuses on climate and energy issues.
We strive to promote innovation and implement continuous improvement measures to reduce the environmental impact of our activities and products. For instance, our aluminum recycling process requires only about 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum via the bauxite route.
Aluminum is a key component of the circular economy, as the material can be recycled 100% repeatedly without any loss of quality. Our own recycling facilities make a significant contribution to aluminum recycling. Our recycling capacity for packaging alone amounts to 100,000 tons per year, which corresponds to the aluminum content of all beverage cans consumed annually in Germany.
We pursue an ambitious strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure transparency regarding our products and operations. We have set a goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045 by promoting innovation and implementing measures for continuous improvement.
Speira is a member of ASI – a multi-stakeholder initiative to drive global, sector-wide transformation for aluminium, and customers’ assurance of responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.
Our sites in Grevenbroich, Hamburg, Rheinwerk, Karmoy and Holmestrand are part of the ASI Performance Standard. The Grevenbroich, Hamburg and Rheinwerk plants have also been certified according to the ASI Chain of Custody Standard.
Speira is a member of the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and have committed to reach net-zero by 2045. We have set ambitious near-term and long-term targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the targets have also been validated by the SBTi.
We work hard to ensure that our suppliers and their employees are conducting their business in accordance with Speira’s expectations regarding environmental management and human rights.
